[JDEV] Limiting Registrations

[jabber at msg.net]

Can anybody assist me by pointing out where the code is that forbids use of
user registration from a logged-in user? I need to change this behavior
to proceed with my 'controlled registration' changes for mod_register.c

I've approached the question for several different angles, but keep hitting
limitations in the implementation of IQ, etc.

This is actually really easy- take a look at what is changed in the spoolfile
for a user when you 'remove' (actually 'disable') the user, and just set this
flag when the account is created, and the account will be registered, but
locked out.
