[Asterisk-Users] Rights problem with Voicemail and non-root user - yeah I know, I thought I had it fixed...

[Chuck Bunn]

Hi Giorgio:

That seems like a kind of a kludge. I would rather have the program work 
right, than adding a work around. Dan of  Littlejohnsconsulting has told 
me of one problem in ARI that he is fixing but I do not understand how 
it will fix the issue yet?? I will let you know as I find out more...

Thanks
