Or you can use dynamic conferences and put the logic in the dialplan / an 
agi that in turn talks to the database. This is _much_ more flexible than 
anything hard-coded in the meetme application. You can have differenct pin 
codes with access at different times of day etc.

The meetme.conf way of doing things is good for what it is ment to handle 
- a small number of statically configured conferences. For anything else 
you can use dynamic conferences with the authentication in the dialplan.
