Bug#433779: asterisk doesn't work correctly after boot

[Faidon Liambotis]

Hello,
Thanks for all the information you provided, you've been very helpful.

On an unrelated matter, it saddens me that you decide to not use our
packages. Can you pinpoint us on the fixes that Danish CID wants (a bug
report on bugs.digium.com would be the best).
We have patched Asterisk for such issues in the past (UK CID in
particular), so there is precedent.

The bug you are describing in this message seems important to me, so I
won't deflate its priority, yet :)

Hrm, that's weird. May be it is not registering properly?

Could you try doing the opposite at that step?
i.e. try making an outbound call. It will probably work, even if the
registration has failed, since most SIP providers don't require you to
REGISTER before making calls (and INVITEs are authenticated).

Could you perform something a bit harder for me, please?

Shutdown your local DNS server and start Asterisk.
Type "set verbose 10" and "sip set debug" on your Asterisk console.
Wait a bit and then start your local DNS server.
Then wait until the register timers hit and Asterisk registers to your
SIP provider.

Then send us the debug output :) Don't forget to ommit sensitive
information from the output.
May be something is wrong with the way Asterisk registers; this will
help us pinpoint it.

Thanks a lot,
Faidon
