[Spacewalk-list] Osad not connecting to jabberd

[Goff, Raal]

I've been working through this problem as well...

> The authreg_db.so module is in /usr/lib64/jabberd/authreg_db.so
>
> I added /usr/lib64/jabberd to ld.so.conf.d/jabberd.conf and ran

The path for the libs is actually specified in the config file for
each jabber component, so you have to go through and change the path:

eg:
     <!-- Dynamic authreg modules path -->
     <path>/usr/lib64/jabberd</path>

After the authreg_db.so problems I also found that jabberd was
complaining about the db4 database being corrupted, so i changed all
the db backend directives to use sqlite instead. Now the daemons load,
and osad clients can connect, but they dont seem to receive any
messages.

osa-dispatcher complains about the following:

2009/07/24 10:44:38 +09:00 3038 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.main('ERROR',
'Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/

self.waitForResponse(ID,timeout)\n  File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/
jabber_lib.py", line 1151, in waitForResponse\n    raise TimeoutError()
\nTimeoutError\n')

I'm wondering if there is any way to replace jabberd2 with one of the
other available jabber servers such as openfire or jabberd1.4 or
ejabberd. Has anyone attempted this?
