Last night I was thinking about that and I realized that actually it  
may be a bug...

I hope to explain my idea clearly: my extensions and dial strings are  
dynamic (changes all the time, each user modifying its parameters as  
they want). Each user has his own set of dial flags, they can be  
allowed to monitor calls, to activate blind and attended transfer and  
park calls OR NOT. If I set a given extension to NOT be allowed to  
make any transfer and I park him, actually the call will return after  
parking's default timeout to the internal context "park-dial" with  
this "t" flag. Thus my whole permission system is gone and broken.

I understand that I chose to develop such permission thing but  
Asterisk has a hard-coded dial option that can bother admins not  
interested in any kind of transfers being made by his users. I'd even  
name this a security problem, in the sense Asterisk could not  
workaround configured permissions.

Should it be handled like a bug in Mantis then?
