Summary:                    type=user and type=friend are no longer the same for
chan_sip
Description: 
The comments in sip.conf as well as various on-line pages suggest that node
types "user" and "friend" are synonyms for chan_sip.  However, since SVN
rev 169791 they are treated differently.  In particular, a user node will
not get the SIP_TYPE_PEER flag, which makes it impossible for it to
REGISTER with chan_sip:
  
chan_sip.c: Registration from '"foo" <sip:foo at example.org>' failed for
'192.0.2.101' - No matching peer found

As soon as the node type is changed to friend, it can register OK.

Perhaps this needs clarification.  Thanks!

Well, registrations are only against type=peer, and type=friend (which is
user+peer). The type=peer also needs to have host=dynamic in order for
registrations to be permitted for that peer.

A type=user, as it states in the documentation, only matched on the From,
and not the IP address, thus a registration wouldn't be applied to the user
structure.

I agree that documentation that states that a friend and user are synonyms
seems wrong to me, or at the very least, not very clear.

I don't believe there is any bug here, other than confusing documentation.
