Can I get some more information on this?
Are there any drawbacks?

Or you can use authenticate() and have it take its 'passwords' form a
text file on your machine.

There are 2 basic ways to do this.  You can in your dialplan
do a read and presumably a db check for the extension (I
assume you dont want hardcoded accounts, but ...)

The other way is via an agi that does the same thing.  AGIs
generally take more cpu than equivalent dialplan entries for
short lived applications, however for a long lived agi it may
not (although it can take more ram).
