# Sample ~/.mcabber/mcabberrc file

# Note about this file syntax:
# - Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
# - Empty lines and lines beginning with a '#' are ignored.

# Please provide your Jabber (XMPP) identifier:
set jid = yourusername@domain

# If password is not given, it will be interactively asked for.
# Note: if the password contains leading or trailing spaces, you must
# enclose it with quotes: set password = " example password "
#set password = yourpassword

# Read password from output of the given command.
# This is a way to use password managers like 'pass' in order
# to avoid writing plain passwords into config files.

# to a specific server.
