Jabberd log and pid files are flagrantly misplaced in /var/lib/jabberd instead of /var/{run,log}/jabberd. Jabberd logging is set to syslog and facility local3 which is improper. It should be 'daemon' like everything else. Since many sysadmins will deliberately and with good reason filter out 'local0-7' from being logged or will otherwise pay it little attention, jabberd failures will be ignored or not easily ascertained. Finally, no daemon should EVER own it's configuration files. Yet all the files in /etc/jabberd including the directory are uid=jabber. They all properly should be uid=root. gid=jabber is fine. The initscript also makes assumptions on PIDFILE names. The proper thing to do is to either parse the *.xml files for <pidfile> stanzas, or better yet, force the value by running 'sed -e' against the *.xml files according to what the initscript is expecting. Those values can furthermore be influenced by /etc/sysconfig/jabberd.

Created attachment 995404 [details] suggested patch
Hi, just drive-by fixing of old bug. If you are still around could you please test packages from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9078051, please?
Thanks for patch. If you are applying this on the EL6 branch it probably also needs to be applied on the other active branches.
The build failed apparently. But the patch seems reasonable.
One more effort: EPEL-6: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9441142 EPEL-7: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9441167 F21: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9441389 This at least builds and I would love to see whether it works for you as well. Once I get your OK, I will make it into proper Fedora/EPEL builds.
