Gnu TLS/XMPP issues.

[Jeremy Lawler]

I'm running a djabberd server with adium/pidgin clients.
The problem only started in Adium 1.2.4 (and all the Betas) and also
Pidgin 2.4.x.
The clients would restart the connection over and over again.  I
believe it's a problem with GnuTLS on XMPP.  There are 2 logs
attached, one of which was already linked to a couple people.  Also,

I talked with Sean about it online, and here are the relevant Q&As:

seanegn: so, you're probably using JIDs like "lawlerk at foo.com," but
the server is running on 'jabber.foo.com'
Me: Hmmm. It gets passed authentication. The connection doesn't drop
until the roster is delivered.
Me: nope, I use the FQDN of the box
Me: btw, I appreciate you taking a look.  I tried to do as much
research as possible to avoid asking something in a faq somewhere
seanegn: Yeah, I can see why you'd doubt it's a SASL thing ;)


seanegn: what do the server logs say?
seanegn: Also, a Pidgwin log would be great.
Me: Server logs aren't useful. They don't log anything below the SSL
layer, so all I get is a "DISCONNECTED"
Me: Basically, this:

seanegn: Can you check Help > About under "Library support" and tell
me what's configured for TLS and SASL?
Me:
