Hello everyone

Due to security reasons I want to run asterisk as a non root. I normaly
installed asterisk, created an * user, moved the binaries to /usr/bin
and chowned all the files and directories mentiont in the * manual
(handbook-draft.pdf)

Now I can start * but I get the following warning (which I don't get if
I run it as a root):

Feb 14 19:10:53 WARNING[213006]: pbx_wilcalu.c:69 autodial: Autodial:
Unable to open file
~  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/enum.conf': Found

I don't know if * really works - I have't tired jet - can anybody tell
me which file * want's to access? ( I looked in the source but I'm not
that familiar with the code)

Thank's in advance

	Birk Bremer
