[Asterisk-Users] Newbie - Voicemail Password Help

[Stephen Hon]

The vm-password file is used else where, such as queues. If you changed
it, then you would change for all the other applications.

I guess, since we alter the source code often.. it's not that big of a
deal. We just create our own patch files and if we update from cvs, we
patch against the new source.

Why do that ? when you can simply replace the prompt file. Using your
method will need a recompile every time a different prompt needs to be
used.
