Wildfire is a JABBER server that is self-contained (it doesn't need you to install a bunch of other rpm's/modules for it to work!).

Just download the RPM from the site and use Webmin's package manager -or- manual upgrade from the SG20/30's admin page to install it.  After installation go to http://192.168.1.1:9090 and refresh until you get the setup pages.  Wildfire will set itself up with one minor correction and away you go!

The DEFAULT name of a Magnia is MYSERVER, so Wildfire will set your domain as myserver.myserver.loc which will not work!  If you actually have a domain, enter your domain name.  Otherwise enter either myserver or 192.168.1.1 note: this assumes you are at default values!

I have tried a client or two, and it works fine.  Of course, to use it with other peeps you will have to open a hole in your firewall.  I want to I.M. my MisterHouse, or I wouldn't be doing this!
