Summary:                    [patch] SIP allowguest defaults to yes with 'make
samples'
Description: 
Proposal to change sip.conf.sample and extensions.conf.sample

So that new a install has sip.conf has allowguest=no in the [general]
section
and extensions.conf to have a warning in the [default] section that
sip.conf may have allowguest=yes or the default of yes.

I might agree that anyone using a prepackaged product to 'get started in 10
minutes' IE. AsteriskNow could have the 'easy start' option of allow guest
to connect.

But anyone compiling and installing from source, and running 'make
samples', probably has a fairer idea of what's required to get started..
Create an account in sip.conf.

After all, most linux distributions, straight out of the box have the
firewall on.
'mysql' default won't allow inbound connections, you now have to comment
out 'bind-address = *'
'lprng' default now requires 'lpd_listen_port=515' in /etc/lprng/lpd.conf
if you want it to act as a network print server.

asterisk has moved on, it is now a viable corporate product, and as such,
out of the box, it should not let guest users in.
