My guess is the next problem will be the password being visible to all users querying the processlist :) Is including a file (import_file) with passwords an option? Generate the file just before startup, remove it (ofcourse in a secure way (shred the file and overwrite all freespace with a multiple patters a few dozen times (ask the auditors for the exact specifications that make them happy))) after kamailio is running. _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users@lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
