DNS, IP tables, NTP and DHCP are among the few services that some folks configure separately on sipxecs 4.4 or older systems. Starting with the 4.6 release these services are integrated in a much tighter way. In order not to conflict with any custom configuration methods, these select services now have a "Unmanaged" setting you can set which allows you to configure the services yourselves. George and I realized that for each service, an unmanaged state can have different consequences depending on what the service does or how it's configured.
So in short, there is no common specification for how unmanaged services are dealt with, so George and I urge you to test out 4.6 and see if you can still configure the systems as you once did. Don't worry, there will *always* be a way to hack want you want together in 4.6 because all the rules are now in editable text files, but the goal is to lower the level of hacking you would have to do to make system easier to setup out of the box and easier to maintain thru a system's major and minor upgrades. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
