Is there some reason the Jabber server has to be connected to that LDAP
password? As far as I know, the only other thing that uses it is Mango,
and I only use that once or twice a year. I use my ssh key for git, ssh,
and scp. I have a throwaway password for mailman that gets emailed to me
in plain text once a month. I have a throwaway password for our IRC bot.
I have a password for Bugzilla, another for WordPress on www.gnome.org,
another for WordPress on blogs.gnome.org, and yet another for MoinMoin
on live.gnome.org. What's so special about *the one* GNOME password that
the Jabber server uses?
