Trouble creating correct user.xml files.

Hi,
	I am creating the user files myself even before the user logs in.  
I am using the module for authentication using a pop3 server.  Basically I
have a list of all the users and their names. I am adding the users to the
friends list in appropriate groups beforehand so that ppl don't have to
add up all the 600 odd users on the server. I am doing this by creating
the user.xml files in the spool directory. However there seems to be
some problem with the xml file that I create because when I tried to test 
it as a user, nobody appered in the friends list. Below is a sample of 
that file. Is there any limit on the friends list that can be created in a
jabber client ? Or is there some problem with the xml file.
All the parts except the <item>...</item? are common to all user.xml 
files.

<xdb>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:roster' xdbns='jabber:iq:roster'>
<item jid='pgp18110 <at> 192.168.1.193' name='Subod Kumar' subscription='both'>
<group>PGP-1</group></item>
<item jid='pgp18111 <at> 192.168.1.193' name='Tarun Kumar' subscription='both'>
<group>PGP-1</group></item>
</query>

<query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' last='1036386543' xdbns='jabber:iq:last'/></xdb>

Bye,

Re: Login fail error 401


Hi,
	Did you carry out tests using simple old telnet ? Is that port 
blocked by security systems there ?

Re: Central Authentications.

Hi,
	Yes. This should probably be put into the standard package. Helps 
in a great way when you want to integrate jabber into established 
user-passwd systems..

Vinayak

Proxy and jabberd usage.

Hi all,
	Here in intranet there are around 500 msn and yahoo users. I plan 
to setup a jabberd server with the msn and yahoo transports so that the 
msn and yahoo traffic is diverted to the jabber server. Would this result 
in any improvement of the performance of the proxy server or the internet 
usage ? What other issues would be involved in taking stock of the 
performance of whole system ( ie the older system with just proxy and 
newer with proxy and jabber ) .

Re: Proxy and jabberd usage.

Hi,
	The first part of asking users to use jabber for intra-net 
communication is already being setup. But Still if we let users use msn 
and yahoo then I can't force it onto them.

	I was talking of squid proxy only. MSN and yahoo can't be blocked 
off completely as users will crib , they use it heavily ! I was just 
wondering if proxy could be better utilized, ie its performance could be 
improved if jabber was used for them.

Bye,
Vinayak

Re: Exodus clients can no longer connect (server fine yesterday).

Hi,
	Here too the Exodus client is d/c and reconnecting many users on 
win98 or XP . For 
other OS's it's working fine though... Other clients work fine on same 
machine though.

Bye,
Vinayak

	Sorry but similar thing had happened to me because the 
'yourhostname' must be changed to 'localhost' or to 'IPNUMBER' if testing 
from a different machine. Actually if you had tested a client then 
probably you would have seen everything working fine.

A client which doesn't write in system folders.

Hi,
	Does anybody have a client for windows which doesn't write the
configuration files in the systems folders. Rival and Exodus write their
config in the Program Files directory. Due to policy being followed here,
users can write only in their allocated space in the Documents and
Settings folders.
	Is their any client available which writes only in the user home 
directory and nowhere else ? I have seen myJabber but it's not as 
good in terms of looks as Exodus and Rival....

File transfer in clients

Hi,
	Does the file transfer used by various jabber clients require a
special port to be open ? We have a firewall between various groups of
computers. While transferring files, sometimes the transfers get timed out
and sometimes result in only file of zero bytes being sent.

	Could anyone tell me which port needs to be opened so that I can 
talk to the authorities or there are other reasons ? Right now port 5222 
must be already open.

Bye,
-Vinayak
