Sure enough, there's a new version of GAIM now (1.3.1), and it appears
registration works properly. I don't know about adium, but if it
suffers from the same bug, it will likely take a bit before the fix
makes it into adium.

According to Nathan Walp (faceprint) of GAIM, this bug is fixed in CVS,
so the next release will be able to register with a jabber server.

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?
