[arm-allstar] Blacklist/Whitelist Question Perm vs. Temp?

[Doug Crompton]

Mike,

 There is no permanent vs. temporary.  You need to setup the config files
as per the howto but you only have to add the contexts if they are not
already there. We added them to the download firmware at hamvoip.org last
year so anyone that started a node with that new download code would have
the scripts already installed in the config files. Older versions would
need to install them. So check and make sure you don't already have them.

So once they are in place you have the choice of white or black listing a
node number. It has to be one or the other. This depends on which context=
you set in iax.conf. White listing means only the nodes specified can
connect. Black listing means the nodes listed cannot connect. Then you can
either use Supermon or the node-ban-allow.sh script to add or delete a node
number. Once you add it it is in a sense permanent until you delete it even
through a reboot. You can also add a short comment to the database as to
why you took that action.

Does that answer your question?
