Hi All, Quick question. Has Yahoo changed their IM protocol?
My Jabber server has stopped being able to use the Yahoo transport (http://yahoo-transport-2.jabberstudio.org/) and is strangely coincides with Yahoo's notices about upgrading clients by 24-Sept-03. They only mentioned "security" concerns with old versions, nothing about a protocol change! I've worked around it by downloading the Yahoo Linux (http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html) client and it's working (complete with banner ads and other nastyness!). However, I preferred my single jabber client (Psi) being able to access all my IM accounts. Yes I know about "EveryBuddy" and other all-in-one clients, but the other reason I'm running a jabber server is simply because it's open (as in the Jabber protocol is an open source/standard). Just putting my "money" where my mouth is I guess. BTW, if you want to use Yahoo's newest client with Debian (Woody) DO NOT USE THE DEBIAN PACKAGE! It's fubar and wants glibc 2.3, but woody has 2.2. The solution is to download the RedHat 7.x RPM and "alien" it to a deb. After that, it works fine. --James __________________________________ A random quote of nothing: It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline.
