| Description: | it would be nice if we could install asterisk as user asterisk, to avoid having a remote root exploit if a bug is found sometimes. Maybe a config option to do this would be funky. And we could optionally set the config files read only, owned by root. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Some people seem to already do it: http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0210/0237.html | ||

Also the directory for install is changed to /opt/asterisk for the install. Did you have any problems doing that ?

This isn't realy a bug, but it would be nice to have the permissions set to be compatable with a non-root setup.

Otherwise, this is working with some handicraft. Bug closed. | ||
