Telford Tendys commented on ASTERISK-26619:
-------------------------------------------

Hi, thanks for taking a look.

Packaged asterisk is a lot easier, and CentOS-6 is still very commonly used. You have to expect conservative distributions to lag behind the latest because when it comes to production there's absolutely no substitute to stability and testing. I really want to avoid building from source and messing around like that.

Maintenance information seems to point back to Digium... perhaps this is no longer maintained at all ?!?  RedHat maintains a separate Bugzilla website so I will put a message over there. Possibly they will accept a maintenance patch. Not sure exactly who is responsible for this anymore.

> Very likely this is a mistake. In testing it shows that changing the value of AST_USER inside /etc/sysconfig/asterisk has no effect on the running program because the arguments are lost in the script.
