I haven't personally used every jabberd out there, so I'm not sure. I currently use ejabberd, and afaik you can't do that with it. I used jabberd2 a long time ago, and it was a system-wide install as well. If you know of any other project like this I'll reword the site, as I'm definitely not trying to take credit for a feature that was implemented a long time ago. :P

Cool nonetheless, more software should work this way IMO.
