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!

oej: ok, well the issue pointed out by the reporter is that (if accurate)
the documention is wrong (you say "user" when I think you meant "peer"):

+; * The type=friend is a device type that accepts both incoming and
outbound calls,
+; where Asterisk match on the From: username on incoming calls.
+; (A synonym for friend is "user"). This is a type you use for your
local
