Hi,
A while ago I spent some free time trying to bang this jabberd .spec file I found into shape, but haven't had time to pick it up again. I think it'd be great though if we got jabberd into Fedora or extras at least. Hopefully someone will be able to take this and fix it up more; it's FHS-incompatible and has some ugly bits like the test for NETWORKING, etc.

jabberd 2.0 has stopped development - the primary developer has gone away from it. Moreover it has pretty serious stability problems.
I don't think it would be worthwhile to put it in extras.

How about jabberd 1.4.3? it's stable, works, and will authenticate from PAM?

it's not xmpp 1.1 compliant - which isn't all that bad. but the pam auth stack is written entirely in perl which is downright scary.

I don't know about xmpp 1.1, so I won't argue with you there. but since I authored the PAM_auth module used by that RPM, I will argue with you about it being written in perl. I wrote it in C myself. I think I have the only PAM auth module for jabber that seems to work as expected.

Can you put out a link to that module? I've not seen that one.

Here's the pkg file with the tarball in it and the patch I use to build it in. I've tested / use it on redhat 7.3-9, fedora core 1 and fedora core 2. I suspect it would work on YellowDog, but doesn't build on Gentoo(don't much care about that one), and causes jabberd to crash on SuSE(working on that one)
You got the PAM module for jabber? have you had any problems with it?

Hm, I didn't know that. That sucks. Looks like his page says he might pick it up again though.
Moreover it has pretty serious stability problems.
It seems to work OK for me, although it was a pain to set up.

Well, it'd be nice to have either this or 1.4.

Seth, what jabber server do you recommend?

1.4.3 works ok - but it's not xmpp spec compliant.

http://ejabberd.jabberstudio.org/, xmpp compilant (mostly) as webpage says, written in erlang.
