[JDEV] Conferencing - how to set up permanent rooms

[Chris Pile]

I still have yet to get permanent conferencing rooms working, I must be
doing something wrong.  I'm trying with the current jabber-1.4.2 (from
tarball) and I've tried with conference-0.4.1 and conference from the
CVS.

I've tried with JIM, WinJab and myJabber but even winjab can't browse
the permanent rooms.  I have a FQDN for conference.jabber.example.com
(example.com changed to protect the innocent) and have tried CNAME and A
records just for the hell of it.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has actually got this working.  Also
if you could take a quick look at the config snippet below to see if you
can spot any errors.  I've included my jud config just to give the
config some scope.


Thanks,
Chris.
