I'm still smoothing out the debugging/error stuff, that's why you still
get the "Unable to open log file" when you didn't configure one.

As far as the message "net socket: Address already in use" goes, it's
begin generated from this line in /jabberbox/handle.c:
	h_err(s, "net socket");

Why you're getting it though, I'm not sure... At the point where it is
generated, it created a socket on port 5269 with the address listed in
your <listen></listen> configuration directive.  Do a netstat -a and look
for a line like:

tcp        0      0 yourhostname:5269     *:*                     LISTEN

Meaning that there is a process actively listening on that port
somewhere :)

Do you EVER get it to start, or is it always doing this no matter what?

Thanks,
