[asterisk-gui] running asterisk as non-root users

[Stefan van der Eijk]

I help maintain the asterisk packages in the Mandriva distribution.
Those packages are configured to run asterisk under the "asterisk"
user. Feel free to check the .spec file of these packages to see what
else we needed to change.

http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/asterisk/current/SPECS/asterisk.spec?revision=819

regards,

Stefan
