Nitpeeking:

Now you made everything there executable.

chmod -R o= /etc/asterisk
chmod -R ug+rwX /etc/asterisk

(Any shorter way?)

In most cases there is also usually non real need for Asterisk to be
able to write to its config files (except voicemail.conf and maybe a few
others).

> usermod -G admin,asterisk admin
