Hello,

I am not sure this is the right forum to raise this question but I could not
find any answers in the documentation either. Really appreciate any inputs.

Groupchat question: 

I've downloaded the latest groupchat-transport sources from the CVS and
installed them on a Redhat 6.1 machine. Jabber server is running on the
machine and I am able to do one-on-one chat. I am not clear about how to
create different groups on the server. I have already created an 'agent' entry
in the jserver.xml file as follows:

<agent jid="groups">
                <name>Conference Server</name>
                <description>You can create and participate in private group
conferences.</description>
                <service>conference</service>
                <groupchat/>
                <register/>
        </agent>

I connect to the jabber server through Winjab and I get the following in the
agents listing:

Conference server
JID: Groups
Transport?: NO

But when I specify the agent name (as in jserver.xml) and try to join the
group or register, I get an 'Invalid Groupchat Protocol' error. Please let me
know if I am missing something here. Secondly, how do I create multiple chat
groups on the server?

Yahoo-transport question:

Yahoo-transport has also been installed on the system but I connect to the
internet through a proxy. The connection fails as the request is unable to
reach the yahoo host. Is there a way of telling yahoo transport to connect
through a proxy (say through yahoo_trans.xml)?

Thanks in advance,

Srikanth
