There is a script to create the table:

/usr/pkg/share/examples/jabberd/db-setup.sqlite

Then you have to make sure it's owned by the same user.

I wouldn't be suprised if some of these can hook to pam.   But i have
always wanted jabber accounts/pw separate from unix accounts.


I am running jabberd2 in production, from pkgsrc, and it is quite
stable, with about 50 users on any day.  Base OS is up-to-date netbsd-5
i386, as a xen domU.

mu-conference is not really stable, but mostly works.
