Summary:                    sip.conf.sample incorrectly describes types
(peer/user/friend)
Description: 
Could we update sip.conf.sample with proper description of what exactly the
difference between user and peer is? The current version also incorrectly
suggests using type=friend for "local SIP phones". This results in
confusion among users and software developers. E.g FreePBX uses type=friend
for extensions for "historical reasons". To make things worse using
friend/user allows extension enumeration w/INVITE packets. It would we nice
if we could hear an updated story from the horse's mouth which would clear
any perplexion that have been building  over the years.
