Problems with class choice prompt

Okay, I've run into a bit of a problem on my MUD that I'm working on. I wanted to remove some of the classes (ie. druid, vampire, and augurer) I removed them from the class.lst and then I edited the class number in the other files so that there were no gaps (ie Paladin went from 8 to 5). I then restarted the MUD and logged in trying to create a new character. When I get to the class selection it does not give me the option to choose "Paladin" or "Ranger", though I do have the options for Mage, Cleric, Thief, and Warrior. If I go ahead and type Paladin, or Ranger it will take me to the race selection page. But it doesn't display those as options for the class you choose. Any ideas on why, or how to fix the problem?

If you could paste the appropriate code from nanny, as well as the declarations in mud.h, it would be helpful in trying to help you out.

I've tried finding where all of this might be declared, but I can't. I'm stumpted. I checked all my .c and .h files for 'logon', but didn't find anything that might be the problem. I also checked for 'class' but again, of course I came up with a huge number of results, however after a cursory look I didn't find anything that seemed to be what I wanted.

I'm using cygwin on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. Thanks in advance for all your help guys, I'd very much like to get all the classes to display.

This has been covered recently. The problem is stock SMAUG subtracts 2 from the list of classes it displays. Use SMAUG FUSS (Fixed Up Smaug Source) or search for the recent post on how to fix it.

Ahh...many thanks, I didn't think the topic would be under compiling, so I must have missed it when I went through the forums. I'll try the fix out later tonight.
