Finally figured it out (with the help of AH6OD) It was the "permit= "statements that you show commented out in your example below. In fact, I needed one for the allmon node that was trying to access the data Without it, you get this kind of error: manager.c:1034 authenticate: 192.168.1.203 failed to authenticate as 'admin' Anyway - now it's working.

Instructions say to modify manager.conf but don't say what you actually have to do. anyway, I took a shot at it and I am getting this on the asterisk node: [Oct 21 16:58:04] NOTICE[4403]: manager.c:1034 authenticate: 192.168.1.203 failed to authenticate as 'admin' == Connect attempt from '192.168.1.203' unable to authenticate yes I called the user 'admin' any help? also - to reload the manager.conf file, do I have to restart asterisk, or is there a smoother way?
