[AG-TECH] Jabber Server Install [nclassified]

We got our internal ag server up and started on the jabber server.  I  
was able to snag one of our linux guys for a few days to configure  
the xml files but he didn't have enough time and is now on vacation.   
He said before he left that he was very close.  I was wondering if  
you could make available your jabber.xml and muc.xml files so that I  
might finish setting it up.  Any help at this point would be greatly  
appreciated.  I could include our files if needed.

thanks

Paul
