Thanks for the swift response Luki. Have you checked out:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+non-root recently? Does it seem up to date to you? It indicates it was updated in March of this tear, but I did this once and don't want to go thru all the hassle if the directions are outdated!!

I run Asterisk non-root and in a chrooted environment -- it keeps all necessary files nicely separated (easily portable, easy to switch versions), doesn't clog up common directories. Just make a new directory like /usr/local/asterisk and use that as the root for the chrooted environment. Chown all /var and /etc/asterisk files in there to the asterisk user and you're good to go. The tough part is to get all the shared libraries copies over -- ldd is your friend. --Luki _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
