+; Note: Please read the security documentation for Asterisk in order to
+; 	understand the risks of installing Asterisk with the sample
+;	configuration. If your Asterisk is installed on a public
+;	IP address connected to the Internet, you will want to learn
+;	about the various security settings BEFORE you start
+;	Asterisk. 
+;	Specially note the following settings:
+;		- Allowguest (default enabled)
+;		- Permit/deny - IP address filters
+;		- Contactpermit/contactdeny - IP address filters for registrations
+;		- Context - Which set of services you offer various users
