It would completely fail. We don't issue any security-sensitive messages over the IRC channel. And obviously, malicious users could easily spoof messages. If we were to do this seriously, we'd have to use a message bus with guaranteed delivery and proper authentication and security. (I supposed you could use a PKI and encrypt/sign the IRC messages, but that just seems silly.) > A second point is that Asterisk's AGI ought to allow you to plug into > your perl scripts with more information than you can with a system() > call. We do use AGIs for some things, but for call-notification a system() call was simpler. [Anyway... we'd better get back to LedgerSMB discussions. :-)] I've noticed mention about LedgerSMB 1.3. is it downloadable somewhere? Well, I guess I could just pull from SVN...
