Hello list,
I am interisted in *only* allowing specific clients as in "Exodus" etc to connect to ejabber server. I would like to know if this can be done and if anyone has actually done it?
Thank you.

This is not possible, and it is IMO a stupid feature because clients like JAJC can lie about the client they are. If such a feature appears in Jabber servers, we will get a situation like the web: all clients will pretend they are another client which will make statistics wrong. (cfr. you can access many Internet Explorer-only pages, just by telling the site you are that browser.)

You are not telling us your probem.
WHY do you want this?
There might be a solution to your problem that isn't wrong designed (see other answer).
Your solution would make ejabberd not a Jabberserver. It would be someting else (like what MS done with Internet standards like LDAP etc).
