[JDEV] [Newbie] Setting up Jabber on RH 6.2 as a _private_ messaging system?

Quoting Frederic Faure <ffaure at ftci.net>:

  Jabber is perfect for such an environment..

  I must have missed that message.

  Can you send a copy of your actual jserver.xml file?

  Could you also turn on the debugging option in WinJab and post that as well?  
If you don;t want to post to the general list, feel free to send it to me 
directly..

  Comment out mod_version in the dso section.  It's an 'autoupdate' module that 
attempts to contact jabber.org and check for updated versions to report to the 
sysadmin..
