And I did follow the setup at the end of the ebuild :) I think it's just getting late so I'll probably try it again after some rest. By the looks of it though, I'd still need a MU implementation, and that doesn't seem easy to find. thanks

Of all the XMPP daemons, ejabberd has the best reputation. jabberd14, according to recent traffic on the -dev list, may be on its way out due to lack of a maintainer, so I wouldn't invest time into setting that up right now. -- :wq
[gentoo-user] jabberd2 + muc
Hi list, I know this isn't really in the remit of the list but I'm hoping there is an expert lurking here somewhere. Does anyone have experience setting up Jabber, especially with mu-conference? I'm trying to set it up for some colleagues but I'm running into a lack of documentation, overly complicated configurations and a seemingly dead project with mu-conference. The packages are still alive and well in portage, yet the site and mailing list haven't been touched for some years. Does anyone know of an alternative text chat system with multi-user room facilities? It needs to be separate from mainstream networks such as MSN etc, have good ACL capabilities and must support SSL. Not really sure what to look at next, and after about 6 hours of fighting with jabberd2 and muc, I'm about ready to give up with it. TIA
