[Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber

We try to keep configuration unified accross different spacewalk variants.
And because jabberd can't connect to oracle we would need to configure
it with sqlite anyway in case of spacewalk with oracle backend.

If you want to try jabberd with postgresql backend see Avi's blog

> Our modest installation (roughly 80 clients) still wasn't rock solid using sqlite (instead of crashing almost daily it became a 'once a month' thing where the DB got corrupted), only after moving to PostgreSQL do we now have an osa-dispatcher/jabber/osad setup which requires virtually no maintenance and is pretty much crash-proof.
