However, after I get connected to my Jabber Server using JabberIM, using
login name as 'happiedwf', I get the following error in the error.log:
    20001107T04:46:16: [warn] (update.jabber.org): xdb_file failed to
open file ./spool/update.jabber.org/959967024.xml:
No such file or directory


Three things are happening here.  First, in the module 
jabber.1-2/jsm/modules/mod_version.c, there's code--hardcoded (!!)--to send
a message to update.jabber.com.  You can make that stop happening by
removing the <update/> stanza from the initialization file.

Second, the default <update/> stanza in the release of 1.2 is broken unless
you provide a -h hostname on the commandline which runs jabberd.

Third, xdb_file always gives the type of warning you show when it tries to
look up information for a nonexistent/unregistered user. I'd say it's benign.
