Dimmuxx noticed that retrieving OIM didn't work for him until he signs off and back on, and that the faltcode is such: <soap:Fault> <faultcode>AuthenticationFailed</faultcode> <faultstring>Authentication Failed</faultstring> <detail> <TweenerChallenge xmlns="http://www.hotmail.msn.com/ws/2004/09/oim/rsi">Passport1.4 blah blah blah blah</TweenerChallenge> </detail> </soap:Fault> and so he says, "I'm pretty sure just switching badcontexttoken or adding another else if will fix it :P" As usual, ZERO amount of verification was done. But don't we have a lot of users who offered to help except they can't code? Hint hint hint.

SILC Purple Plugin
==================

This is the Purple protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet
Live Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit,
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC
protocol implementation.

To include SILC into Purple, one needs to first compile and install
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell Purple's ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the SILC Toolkit cannot be found then the SILC protocol plugin will
not be compiled.
