Details at the URL. Basically asterisk's app_dahdiras passes plugin dahdi.so which isn't legal for pppd unless the invoker (asterisk) is root. Workaround described at Digium issue. Just having this open so that I can remember to implement something sane for gentoo in spite of what happens upstream. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Chainsaw - sane in this case is difficult - would a simple patch that comments out (removes) the two lines that causes the problem be sufficient? I'll happily write a blog entry on the basics of making it work that you can reference.
Created attachment 247587 [details, diff] ast_no_root_dahdiras.diff This is the sanest thing I can come up with. Further instructions on setting this up at http://jkroon.blogs.uls.co.za/it/voip/using-asterisk-as-a-ras-server. I hope this is in order.
