[arm-allstar] Allstar setup template error

[Doug Crompton]

It has come to our attention that there was an error in the rpt.conf
template that has now been corrected in an update but some of you who
started up new servers in the last week or so may have an error in your
rpt.conf file.  This only applies to NEW servers that were put online
(initially setup) after the Feb 11 update using the firsttime or node_setup
scripts. This probably only applies to a small number of people but if you
recently put a server online please check it. Since the rpt.conf file is a
protected file once it is created from the template we do not overwrite it
so if you think you are in this category check your /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf
file for the following line in the first stanza. The one where your first
node is defined. Here is what to look for -

telemetry=telemetry
OR
telemetry=telemetryXXXXX       - where XXXXX is your first node number

Note if this line has your node number after the second telemetry. Then go
down to the actual telemetry stanza further down in the file. It will look
like this -

[telemetry]
OR
[telemetryXXXXX]       - where XXXXX is your first node number

The key here is that the RIGHT side of the telemetry=telemetry must be the
SAME as the name in the telemetry stanza. It will either have your node
after it or not. It does not matter which as long a BOTH match.

EXAMPLE -

if in the node stanza is  telemetry=telemetry   then  the telemetry stanza
would be [telemetry]

if in the node stanza - telemetry=telemetryXXXXX  then the telemetry stanza
would be [telemetryXXXXX]
where XXXXX is your first node number.

In other words they MUST match.

If you update your node you will have this fix in your template but it will
NOT fix the problem if it should exist in your real rpt.conf file from
running a setup since Feb 11, if you did that update. If you download the
image you should always perform the update as the first question in the
setup to ensure you have the latest code before you setup your node.
