Summary:                    Settings in sip.conf are not processed
Description: 
OSes:
 1. SuSE 9.3, Kernel 2.6.11
 2. Debian etch 4.0, Kernel 2.6.18

Asterisk version: 1.4.11

When I started with Asterisk I really lost some of my hair due to this
problem. The result was that specific settings in sip.conf did not work and
didn't show up in the debug files. It seemed they were ignored. I used the
standard template
 and left the comments in it as an help. To separate configuration from
comments
 I added all settings at the end of the comment section. The problem was,
that
 the settings like externhost, sipdebug etc. did not work. By chance I
discovered that setting the sipdebug by activating it at the place where it
was
 commented out, it worked. So placing all settings at the beginning of the

comment section just after the [general] context solved the problem. This
can
be easily reproduced by placing the properties directly at the end of the

comment section (for example sipdebug, externhost).

To me this looks like that properties are ignored depending on the
position in
the config file.
