114 Chapter 8 Customizing Services
Users’ iChat account information is stored on the server. Users may access their
accounts from any Mac and see the same buddy lists, groups, and so forth.
A computer with Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard can have its iChat application
automatically set up to use your server’s iChat service. See “Setting Up Leopard Users’
Macs Automatically” on page 79.
iChat service also works with Jabber-compatible instant messaging software available
for Windows, Linux, and even popular PDAs.
Making All Users Buddies
You can have the Jabber IDs (screen names) of all users with accounts on the server
automatically added to each user’s Jabber buddy list. Users see their Jabber buddy lists
in iChat (or other XMPP instant messaging application), and may add and remove
buddies.
To make all users Jabber buddies:
1 In the iChat pane of Server Preferences, select “Automatically make all users buddies.”
2 Restart iChat service by clicking On/Off twice.
Changes to iChat service settings take effect once iChat service is restarted.
If you deselect “Automatically make all users buddies,” users are not automatically
removed from each other’s buddy lists. Users can remove buddies that were
automatically added to their buddy lists.
