[jadmin] MSN Transport Registration Problem

[Mike Forrester]

Sean,
1)  Your MSN Tranpsort problems may be due to your password.  One of our 
users reported having problems logging in using a password that contained 
special (not sure which ones).  He could log in just fine with the actual 
client, but not with the transport.  We are in the process of investigating 
further and will provide more info once we have details.

2)  We too are running on OpenBSD 3.0 (using the 1.4.2-test2 source) and I 
have set everything to run as a seperate process and user.  I can post our 
xml files once I clean them up if you're interested.  I am in the process of 
writing startup scripts with error detection and will create packages once 
finished with the startup scripts.

Glad to help with any other problems if I can,
Mike
