A few weeks ago I set-up Openfire Jabber Server for HACKS. Really I set this up for Jason, he was looking for a server-side way to login to all his IM accounts and log a history. In any case, now it is up and anyone with a HACKS LDAP account can login. Just fire up a Jabber/XMPP client and use the JID <HACKS username>@hacks.arizona.edu with your LDAP password and you are in. It has most common transports enabled (AIM, Yahoo, Jabber, and ICQ) as well as the IRC transport. S2S is confirmed working with jabber.org, gtalk, and my domain (nocko.net).

For those that are interested it is running IgniteRealtime’s OpenFire Server 3.6.3 and it is running in tugarin.hacks.arizona.edu. If you are having trouble or you don’t have a HACKS LDAP account send me and e-mail (n...@hacks.arizona.edu). If you decide to use the service, give me a holla. My JID is nock@nocko.net .
