Stuck with visudo! unable to find /etc/group

Me again,

I am currently at the stage where I have created the sip.conf file and indications.conf

As the book said I copied the config in the sip.conf which was:

[quote][general]
context=unauthenticated ; default context for incoming calls
allowguest=no ; disable unauthenticated calls
srvlookup=yes ; enabled DNS SRV record lookup on outbound calls
udpbindaddr=0.0.0.0 ; listen for UDP requests on all interfaces
tcpenable=no ; disable TCP support
office-phone ; create a template for our devices
type=friend ; the channel driver will match on username first, IP second
context=LocalSets ; this is where calls from the device will enter the dialplan
host=dynamic ; the device will register with asterisk
nat=yes ; assume device is behind NAT
; *** NAT stands for Network Address Translation, which allows
; multiple internal devices to share an external IP address.
secret=s3CuR#p@s5 ; a secure password for this device – DON’T USE THIS PASSWORD!
dtmfmode=auto ; accept touch-tones from the devices, negotiated automatically
disallow=all ; reset which voice codecs this device will accept or offer
allow=ulaw ; which audio codecs to accept from, and request to, the device
allow=alaw ; in the order we prefer

; define a device name and use the office-phone template
0000FFFF0001
; define another device name using the same template
0000FFFF0002[/quote]

The problem I have is I execute the following:

$ sudo asterisk -r
*CLI> module reload chan_sip.so
*CLI> module reload chan_iax2.so

All ok, but when I:
*CLI> sip show peers
*CLI> sip show users
This seems to work.

These command are not recognised.
*CLI> iax2 show peers

any ideas??/

Thanks again.

Neil

The chan_iax2 channel driver reads iax.conf. If that file is not there, that driver will not load and therefore the iax2 command will not be available.

Unless you are using iax to connect devices, either asterisk to asterisk or there are some iax hard/soft phones, you really don’t need it to be installed.
