Description:I recently put a voicemail service into production here utilising realtime config lookups from LDAP and SMDI.   In doing so I discovered a few things were needed to make it all work properly.  I've included a patch that you may or may not want to integrate into head.  The patch is against 1.4.0 but mostly applies to 1.4.1 too.

I also had some naggy problems with voicemail file permissions.  ast_play_and_record_full records the message for leave_voicemail, then the files are renamed into the correct folders. The problem here is that  ast_play_and_record doesn't honor VOICEMAIL_FILE_MODE so no matter what I set my umask to, the most I could ever get was the hard coded 0700 permissions used in that function.  

To fix this I changed __ast_play_and_record to accept a file mode parameter.  I also changed ast_play_and_record_full to accept a file mode and made play_record_review pass VOICEMAIL_FILE_MODE to this the mode for this function, hence fixing the problem.   All other wrapper functions that called __ast_play_and_record I changed to pass a new definition called DEFAULT_FILE_MODE.

The other issue is the .txt file saved with voicemail.  It's created using mkstemp() which only creates files with 0600 permissions.  I added a chmod() in there to fix this but I doubt that's the best solution.  It works, anyway.

I should also note I have been running this patch, so it's tested as best I can.  It's running on my live system.

Could you please get a disclaimer on file (see bottom of http://bugs.digium.com/main_page.php) and confirm with a note here when done?

I have now faxed the disclaimer in to Digium.

can you please separate features from the fixes and post "new features" in a separate patch ?

By: Patrick Cole (ltd) 2007-03-09 09:24:05.000-0600

No worries mate I'll do that as soon as I get a chance.  Do you want me to integrate it into HEAD or are 1.4 series patches okay?

Have added the same patches split into VM fixes and SMDI features.

excellent, thank you. Last thing, please post the ast_1.4.0-smdi.patch as a new report. The patch will need to be against trunk. Thanks!

Most of this is already fixed in svn trunk.  The chmod part has not yet been added, and I'll be adding that in a moment.

mkstemp doesn't specify a file mode, so we should chmod it to VOICEMAIL_FILE_MODE

Taken from a larger patch by ltd - the rest of which is no longer necessary in trunk.

Closes issue ASTERISK-8964
