However, those of you who are running things (such as Allmon)<br>that use the Asterisk Manager should be EXTRA careful that you CHANGE THE PASSWORD<br>from the normal default one provided in the configuration file(s), and that there is<br>one and only one user defined in the file (unless, of course, you have a good reason<br>for having more then one, and you "know what you are doing").<br><br>Jim WB6NIL<br> </div></body>
