[Juser] Groupchat/Conference from Exodus

[Owen, Andy RG]

I've asked this same question at jadmin at jabber.org, but got no reply ....
 
I've read all the docs that I can find, both about Jabber and about Exodus, and have a working Jabber configuration up and running now.

I am using Redhat 9 and Jabberd 2.0s3 (MYSQL 4.015 DB). I am running this as an entirely internal system at the moment, with no connection to external Jabberd servers...

There are a few things I don't seem to be able to do from Exodus, that the documentation implies I should be able to do (oh, and I can do on the Jabber.org server)

1) Search for a contact - Exodus asks me to "select the user database or enter in the Jabber ID of the search agent to use:" Unfortunately I have no idea - nothing in the docs tells me this - or how to set one up in the first place.

2) Create a chatroom/conference - I click on join a chat room, choose my Room Server (in this case sphim.com), give it room name (jabber), don't set password, click finish.. Type anything in the entry box and I just get ERROR: in (what I assum to be) the chatroom.

Also is it possible to populate the JUD administratively - i.e. put users in there - when I create them, instead of getting users to do it manually...

Hope someone can help!

P.S. I'm sure I'm asking questions that've been answered previously - is there an online Forum where answers are kept?
