Jabber port version 1.4.2
>Description:
If hostname contains mixed case, jabber daemon can't deliver messages.
Apparently this is because the hostname is internally lower cased
and compared against what's supplied on the command line with the
-H option from jabberd.sh. It's possible that this happens only
with mixed-case, fully-qualified domain names.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start up jabberd and try to deliver a message with a client. You get a
message like this:
20031204T18:28:36: [notice] (air.emrav.com): bouncing a routed packet to bob at air.emrav.com from 14 at c2s/80DC280: Internal Delivery Error
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to jabberd.sh as distributed with the port:
--- /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jabberd.sh Thu Dec 4 12:35:39 2003
+++ /usr/ports/net/jabber/files/jabberd.sh Sun Sep 1 03:20:31 2002

+HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
test -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/jabberd || exit 1
While you're fixing jabberd.sh, might be a good idea for the jabberd
port to be consistent with others like apache. The port could install
the startup script into jabberd.sh-dist and also copy this into
jabberd.sh if one didn't already exist. That'd allow for the
preservation of local initialization changes across portupgrades.
Thanks!
