This doesn't mean there needs to be a real account on the system. Exim can deliver to non login accounts, Cyrus IMAP doesn't need real user accounts, and I forget the pop3 daemon that works the same way. Hylafax doesn't need a user to send you the faxes. So again, you only need some simple way of keeping user/password mappings straight. LDAP would be okay, if it was easy enough to setup and use. Not to mention for your SIP users, LDAP can be used as a phone directory. I hope this helps you move forward with something usable and secure. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
