An osad.conf and osad-auth.conf. I think, if you remove the osad-auth.conf file and restart osad, it should re-register. I think!

I used to stop SW, cd to /var/lib/jabberd/db and remove the entire contents then restart SW.

In the SW documentation, I learned that its better to delete only the logs that are not required.
