[asterisk-users] Running as non-root

[Torbjörn Abrahamsson]

Thank you, I actually found the asterisk.conf settings after sending the
mail. So next question is which folders/files do I need to change ownership
of to make it work?

 

/etc/asterisk

/var/lib/asterisk

/usr/lib/asterisk

/var/spool/asterisk

/var/log/asterisk

 

And the files in them of course
 Any more? Any that should not be in the
list above?

 

In asterisk.conf I am using the following:

 

runuser = asterisk

rungroup = asterisk

 

Is this sufficient? 

 

Br,

Torbjörn Abrahamsson

What do you use _now_ to run asterisk: safe_asterisk, init-script, from
command-line? What distribution do you use? 

To run asterisk from command line as user "asterisk", just run asterisk -U
asterisk (asterisk user should be created), or edit /etc/asterisk.conf to
run as user "asterisk". In production you preffer running init script.

Hello. 

 

I would like to run asterisk as an user other than root. I have seen some
tutorials on the web, but I would like to know if there is some “official”
how-to for this. Is there?

 

I looked at a thread on reviewboard regarding this
(https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/654/). It was Paul Belangers work trying
to make the installation process take care of this. But the conclusion seem
to be that the parts concerning this was postponed. So, did it make it in
some other way?

 

BR,

Torbjörn Abrahamsson
