If the asterisk process has root priviledges only root should be allowed to modify its config files. But root priviledges are not mandatory for a running asterisk process. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+non-root Asterisk can be started by root (init script) using a command like this: /usr/sbin/asterisk -p -Uasterisk -Gdialout (options are explained in the man page asterisk(8)) The user asterisk has been created as described in the wiki. Probably you have to choose a different group and it might even be necessary to change the permissions of some device file. -- Stefan Tichy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
