[Spacewalk-list] Starting osa-dispatcher hangs

[Will Cladek]

Well, contrary to that page, it appears that /usr/bin/jabberd, /usr/bin/resolver, and /etc/jabberd/resolver.xml are not supposed to exist.

A clean reinstall of jabberd caused that component to start working again.  So after that I did a fresh "spacewalk-setup --disconnected --external-db" which reconfigured jabber properly, and everything seems to work now.

(All other files haven't changed in months.)  jabberd *is* installed from the epel repo.  Doing a "yum reinstall jabberd" doesn't help.
