Re: [Astlinux-users] OpenVPN Questions

Guys,

I'll be happy with 'any' rc.local variable that keeps asterisk from  
starting.

> ASTERISK_USER=root
> ASTERISK_GROUP=root
Kristian, seems you might want to add these variables anyway, but, by  
not defining them means disabling asterisk seems a little obscure to  
me. Maybe then in addition:
ASTERISK_DISABLE=yes

By default asterisk should be on, hence, I think a new variable  
should be set to turn asterisk off.

PS:  Is anyone using the $EXTENSIONS variable anymore?  Time for it  
to go?
