Hey Guys,

  If we started doing NO_* variables, we'd eventually run out :).

  What about this:

ASTERISK_USER=root

ASTERISK_GROUP=root

  At least this way we accomplish two things -

1)  We know the user wants to start Asterisk

2)  They can run it under alternate credentials if desired

  If they didn't define either (upgrade with old keydisk, for
instance) I'd like to make the asterisk init script say something
clever and warn the user that they aren't running Asterisk on AstLinux
;)!

  That's more similar to the other packages (openvpn, for instance).

  What do you think?
