Hi,

Title says it all: How do I enable groupchat? I installed the following 
RPMs (in that order): pth-1.3.3-3.i386.rpm, adns-0.7-2.i386.rpm, 
libxode-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm, libjabber-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm, 
libetherx-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm, jabber-transport-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm, 
groupchat-transport-0.9pre4-2.i386.rpm.

 From the rudimentary documentation available, I seem to understand that 
groupchat requires installing the groupchat transport package, followed by 
adding an agent section in the configuration file:

# cat jserver.xml
<jserver>
	(snip)
     <agent jid="groups.jabber.acme.com">
       <name>GroupChat</name>
       <description>You can create and participate in private 
chatrooms.</description>
       <service>privatechat</service>
       <groupchat/>
       <register/>
     </agent>
</jserver>

As an alternative, you can launch the groupchat transport manually through 
"groupchat -D test.jabber.acme.com

=> Launch WinJab, Agents | GroupChat, Join Group = test, but when a second 
host running WinJab tries to join, he gets an incoming message: "ERROR 
Server Error! Could not contact this agent. It is possible the agent is not 
operating."

Did I get something wrong above, or should I find the latest groupchat 
package (RPM please...) ?

Thx
FF.
