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!

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Can a typical use case be suggested for each type in the documentation?  I
think it would be a fairly good way to clarify the issue.  It's done for
peers and friends but not users.  E.g.:

peer - a SIP trunk, authenticated by its IP, any From is accepted, can
initiate and receive calls.
friend - a SIP phone, authenticated by its From, can register as well as
initiate and receive calls.
user - ???

Thanks!
