i'm using the 1.4.1 version downloaded from: 

http://download.jabber.org/dists/1.4/final/

i basically just followed the install instructions from D.J. Adams' 
Programming Jabber book.  i'm assuming it's a pretty vanilla install 
procedure because there weren't any major server configurations made.

i hope this clears things up.  i have a feeling it's something stupid.

the registration request:

<iq type="get" id="P10002" to="localhost">
   <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register" />
</iq>

returns:

<iq type='result' id='P10002'>
   <query xmlns='jabber:iq:register'>
      <instructions>
      Choose a username and password to register with this server.
      </instructions>
      <name/>
      <email/>
      <username/>
      <password/>
   </query>
</iq>

i then register a user via the snippet below.  it's this 'name' field that 
i'm assuming gets returned as a roster item when someone subscribes to this 
users presence.

<iq type="set" id="Q10003" to="localhost">
   <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register">
      <password>secret</password>
      <name>bob smith</name>
      <email>abc at foo.com</email>
      <username>bob1</username>
   </query>
</iq>

the server returns the following so i assume everything is ok.  i verify by 
connecting and authenticating as this user.

<iq type='result' id='Q10003'/>

finally, i check the spool file created by the server to make sure the 'name' 
field was indeed set, and it is.  here's the data:

<xdb><query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' last='1013140921' 
xdbns='jabber:iq:last'>Registered</query><zerok xmlns='jabber:iq:auth:0k' 
xdbns='jabber:iq:auth:0k'><hash>834a9f351331a9f8b5de55500196cd2971b97f2a</hash>
<token>3C634DB9</token><sequence>500</sequence></zerok><password 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth' xdbns='jabber:iq:auth'>secret</password><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:register' xdbns='jabber:iq:register'><name>bob 
smith</name><email>abc at foo.com</email><x xmlns='jabber:x:delay' 
stamp='20020208T04:02:01'>registered</x></query><foo xdbns='jabber:x:offline' 
xmlns='jabber:x:offline'><message from='localhost' to='bob1 at localhost'>
        <subject>Welcome!</subject>
        <body>Welcome to the Jabber server at localhost -- we hope you enjoy 
this service! For information about how to use Jabber, visit the Jabber 
User&apos;s Guide at http://docs.jabber.org/</body>
      <x xmlns='jabber:x:delay' from='bob1 at localhost' 
stamp='20020208T04:02:01'>Offline Storage</x></message></foo></xdb>

as you can see the 'name' field data was successfully saved.  

i hope this helps to shed some light on the problem.

thanks, i appreciate the help. 

zak.
