Just a username field: 4) Server generates a password (there are nice passwd generators available), creates the user's spool XML and sends a mail to the user This way we even end up with a validated e-mail address (which is good since users tend to forget their password) and have *real* passwords (and not the typical name-of-my-girlfriend stuff ;-). Perhaps I'll write such a script in some time and add it to scriptrepo.jabberstudio.org. Of course it's not nice to have the password sent unencrypted (by mail) but one can exclude the account name in the mail. Plus I don't think many server admins will bother with using https anyway so we have on insecure transmission in every case.
