[JDEV] newbie questions

[Ames Andreas (PN/ECC1)]

hi all,

i'm just beginning to use and develop with jabber and i have some questions:

1) to provide a user directory on my local jabber server (1.2 under Debian
potato), do i have to load a special .so file or exec a special process?
how need i configure this feature?

2) can i use groupchat-transport 1.0 with jabber 1.2 or do i have to
download something from the cvs-server to get a groupchat?  if i can use
groupchat-transport 1.0, how do i have to set it up (configuration hints in
the tarball are for jabber 1.0, aren't they?)

3) is there a possibility to connect my local server *via http* to the
jabber.org jabber server?  or can i connect directly from a client (which
one?) to jabber.org via http?  (http required cause of firewall, as you may
have guessed)

4) besides winjab (which is working properly) i try to use gabber 0.7; i
tried the debian packages from sites.inka.de/debian but i got a segfault
when i logged in to the server (last message i saw on stdout/err was an iq
query for the agents-list, authentication was ok).  so i compiled from the
tarball.  now i have the following: when i start gabber from a useraccount i
got the same segfault, when i start it as root everything goes well.
unfortunately i can't reproduce the segfault in gdb, probably due to
timeouts.  what do i have to configure to be able to use gabber as a normal
user?


cu and tia
