Greetings I would like to run a jabber server on my suse 9.3 sever, it will be just for internal use and will not link to any other servers on the web. i.e private server We want it primarily for meetings and for our switch board to send phone messages to the relevant people in the office. Would Jabber be the right thing to use. I have also looked on the jabber site but it seems a bit confusing. All they seem to go on about is server farming, which I don't think I need. I had one server in mind and all the clients in the office run some kind of jabber client. What I am realy asking is could someone shed a bit of light on how to get started with setting up the server?

Jabberd is the ideal solution to your problem... I run one here for my son & his schoolmates (controlled access chatrooms). Setting up a jabber server is indeed a pain, mainly because the developers are concentrated on huge scale server farms (as you discovered). Do a google on jabberd-2.0s4.tar.gz (or I can email it to you if you'd like - reply to me off list with an unmunged address). It's a 'jumpstart' jabber server config that someone packaged. It's not the latest version and it has one -ignorable- error during startup, but other than that, it works just fine. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.

AFAIK it is not possible to post to SLE when your from address is munged. I tried and it didn't post. The admins here should know. -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org (o- Penguin #395953 //\ running on ancient Indian wisdom V_/_ and modern computing efficiency

It's very possible to use a 'munged' header From: address, the only thing that has to be real is the envelope RCPT FROM: address, and the other subscribers never see that, that stops at the server. All you need to do is find a mail user agent that supports keeping the two separate

You could also look at http://www.jivesoftware.org/messenger I just set it up on my home computer to keep in touch with travelling buddies (installing a web client for it as well). It is a simple rpm install, then /opt/jive{something}/bin/messenger start, then configure at http://localhost:9090, and it is ready and working. All config is done in the web interface. About 10 minutes and you have a working jabber server! Hope that helps. Hamish
