The status of my investigation shows that GAIM is broken for
registration. Despite having a register button, it doesn't even try.
It just tries to auth, obviously fails, and just gives up. According
the RFC and JEP-0077, the jabber server is doing all of its duties, GAIM
just isn't trying to register. Adium, I imagine, suffers from the same
problem. I'll communicate with the jabberd maintainer to see if he has
thoughts about what's wrong, but GAIM's jabber support leaves something
to be desired. Try a non-broken client like Psi. It works on a Mac
too. Other decent clients are Tkabber, Gossip, and maybe Kopete, but I
don't have much experience with them to know if they register properly.

I'm looking into this. GAIM appears to be doing something wrong when
registering a jabber account. I'm investigating exactly what that is,
but for now, the best I can suggest is to try a different client.

The jabber server is now running version 1.4.4 which has a number of
improvements. Most notably it supports TLS on port 5222 now. If your
client supports this, I highly recommend you use it.
I've been unable to register a new account; GAIM spits back a "401 not
authorized" response, and Adium just gives back a generic error message.
What am I supposed to do to re-register an account?
