In CVS HEAD there's no a config option in the [general] section of sip.conf
where you can set realm to anything.

The recommendation from RFC3261 is to set the realm to a globally unique
name, your host name or domain depending on implementation. The realm is
the service the user authenticates to. A realm may apply to one or more
servers, as long as the same authentication (username/secret) works.
