Not sure about the default state of your jabber server, but it's
probably good :-)

In an "open" setup, the client program sends a registration request to
the server ... and they will be automatically created.

So look in the client first :-)

Of course, being Jabber, all the client really does it send XML data to
the server, so you can happily do all this over a telnet session, if you
don't make many typing mistakes ...
