[JDEV] Problems with Jabberd1.4.2

[Aaron Caskey]

I'm in the process of setting up a Jabber Server for our organisation
and I have created a bunch of scripts to allow users to quickly add
departments and individuals to their roster.

I am manipulating the user.xml files directly and have set the timeout
to 0. The server seems to be picking up roster changes, but only
partially.

The main problem is that one user can see another, but the reverse is
not the case, even tho both users registration is set to "both"

Resending a subscribe request will sometimes update the status but it
will only do it once, and if the other user's status changes then
another subscribe needs to be sent. It seems to me that the servers
internal state is getting out of sync with whats in the files.

Is there a way to tell jabberd to reread all the user.xml files without
restarting it?

On an unrelated note is there a way to tell jabberd to resend roster
information to a client (This would probably facilitate rereading the
user.xml file and may answer my first question)

Lastly would xdb_sql help with this at all? I don't really want to move
to this as it would require me to rewrite all my setup and roster
modification scripts.

Thank you
