Generally I agree that if you arent really using the software then that software will have no effect, however that depends on how its used, which is why I qualified my statements the way I did. I for example use mysql to hold about 500k routes which is consulted for every call made. I would not recommend someone running that on the same system as asterisk unless its a really low volume server. That query isnt that unfriendly one or two at a time, but when you start calling stuff from all over it can become unfriendly in quantity. I have seen other stuff that is far worse. > Yes, apache might crash and might take up all resources.

Having it there can lead to compromising situations, however if you filter it so only your admin group of ips can connect you have kept the kids away, although a lot of firewalls can be tricked into letting traffic through they otherwise are told to reject. If you run something on a production server that is exposed to the internet it should be kept up with security patches not just firewall and forget. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
