I'll put them at the end of this email.

A SEGV is *always* bad, and should *not* happen, esp. since I was under the impression that everything in Java was protected against that.... <g>

Um, there's no link to that doc at <https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UserDocs> That's where I was looking, and I followed the "Registering Clients". I looked at the ManageingFedoraSystems, and that's the one that has, as the last two lines of the doc,
Pushing packages to Fedora clients
Managing configuration of Fedora clients
that are *not* links, but apparently placeholders for future documents.
>From a quick skim of that document, is it the case that jabberd only needs to run on the server, not on the client?

Hope the logs below help.
