[JDEV] mod_groups support in CVS

[Jan Peter Hecking]

Hi,

I'm running the CVS version of jabberd and am trying to get shared
groups (mod_groups) to work. The CVS logs say that the mod_groups config
file format was changed slightly in rev 1.12:

----------------------------
revision 1.12
date: 2001/02/19 08:32:12;  author: sheath;  state: Exp;  lines: +348 -283
lots of changes... jabber:iq:browse set support, changed xdb backend and config
slightly
----------------------------

Does anyone know what changes were made when comparing to the
specification at http://docs.jabber.org/server/html/groups.html?

See the relevant parts of my jabber.xml file below. I was expecting that
new users on my jabber server would automatically see the jids that I
put into the <users/> section of the config.

Also, how do users register with a shared group? The above mentioned
docs say: "Group jids can be registered to similar to how one registers
with a transport." It seems "similar" <> "the same".


Any help is appreciated!
