What currently happens to jabber configs during spacewalk 0.4 -> 0.5 upgrade
is that the new c2s.xml, s2s.xml, sm.xml are created, but <secret /> and
<pass /> tags remain empty -> s2s fails to start (glibc exception).

If we don't solve this now, no 0.4 -> 0.5 upgrades will be possible.
Never mind the fact that the change in spacewalk-config will mess up current
