Re: [SLUG] YahooIM Protocol

[Richard Neal]

I use an app called "gyach" http://www4.infi.net/~cpinkham/gyach/ to 
access the chat rooms on Yahoo it stopped working but now it has been 
fixed and working as normal..part the the yahoo changeover seems to be a 
swap from md5 to sha1 for the login security.

Quick question.  Has Yahoo changed their IM protocol?


Yep. There was a slashdot thread discussing it a week ago:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/17/2358240&mode=thread&tid=185&tid=187

I've worked around it by downloading the Yahoo Linux 
(http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html) client and it's 
working (complete with banner ads and other nastyness!).  However, I 
preferred my single jabber client (Psi) being able to access all my IM 
accounts.  Yes I know about "EveryBuddy" and other all-in-one clients, but 
the other reason I'm running a jabber server is simply because it's open 
(as in the Jabber protocol is an open source/standard).  


Well, both Everybuddy (ayttm) and Gaim stopped working too. Apparently Gaim 0.69 
works - I'm just compiling it up now. 

Cheers,
Gavin
