There are a number of things that could be happening here. Firstly if you were in the zone at the same time as you were editing staff.conf you should now re-enter. If you are not using a biller you must add a passwd.conf entry for your alias and make sure you have the module auth_file loaded. The easiest way to do this is to log in and type ?passwd <subspace login password>. You can then log out and back in. | There are a number of things that could be happening here.

This allows users who host on a dynamic IP address to have Continuum always find the server, even if it changes its location. A good service to use is [http://www.dyndns.org/ DynDNS].

I've added myself to the [(global)] section of staff.conf, but it doesn't set me as staff!
There are a number of things that could be happening here. Firstly if you were in the zone at the same time as you were editing staff.conf you should now re-enter. If you are not using a biller you must add a passwd.conf entry for your alias and make sure you have the module auth_file loaded. The easiest way to do this is to log in and type ?passwd <subspace login password>. You can then log out and back in.
