but if someone gains the ability to modify the configuration files, then
they can turn off the manager interface, too.  Or, if they were trying
to be more sneaky about it, they could _only_ disable CDR events for
manager accounts.  As has been implied, the problem here is really much
more serious than CDRs, and is not something Asterisk can solve.
