I'm confused as to what you mean by "and it's use of auth= in sip.conf in the DUNDi section" as I only configured iax.conf within the DUNDi section, and never touched sip.conf. Yes, I do mention the use of auth=, BUT that is in the "iax.conf" file. I specifically say I will be editing the iax.conf file in the very first paragraph of that section. You would be correct if I had been using sip.conf, where the use of auth= is very much different (its used for outbound registration when a proxy server challenges Asterisk for authentication based on realm -- this is NOT the same use in iax.conf which is used to determine the authorization methods the user/peer supports). As for the regcontext which you mention, I'll admit that it needs to be reworded. It isn't used to perform actions upon peer registration, but rather is used to specify the context which adds a NoOp, priority 1 to the dialplan upon peer registration. This in turn can be used to perform actions for incoming calls to your Asterisk system (assuming the call is either directed to the context, or is included into an accessable context, as configured with regcontext). If you have really found that many errors, feel free to submit them as errata to O'Reilly so that they may be fixed in upcoming printings and in the PDFs freely distributed on the Asterisk Documentation Project website (located at http://www.asteriskdocs.org).
