[JDEV] The information of users in "jserver"

[Thomas Charron]

    Bear in mind that the current xdb module is xdb_file, which insinuates,

unsupported directory, an odbc xdb which does exactly what are speaking of.
There is also a pam xdb which allows jabber connections to be authenticated
by pam..
