jabberd configuration

["Stephen A. Witt" <sawitt@electra.rsc.raytheon.com>]

On a woody system I'm trying to configure jabberd. I installed the woody
jabber package and have configured it using the info from www.jabber.org
and in the associated documentation. I changed the hostname and spool
location in the jabber.xml and jabber.cfg files, created the spool
directory and changed its ownership to 'daemon', same as the uid that
jabberd runs at. I've got the jabberd daemon running but it won't allow
a user to create an account. In trying to work through the
configuration procedure at www.jabber.org where you telnet into the
machine and copy the xml clauses, it won't respond with the user login
information. Anyway, does anyone have any hints as to how to fix this and
get jabberd going?

Thanks...
