The version of jabber in woody has mod_auth_plain disabled, which is needed by jabber for registering a user: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=182050 This is corrected in testing and unstable. Additionally you only need to set the hostname and spool in jabber.cfg, not in jabber.xml. The init script and cmdline flags in jabber.xml take care of that for you. -- Jamin W.
