Lol.. To an extent I agree. But I feel the best way is to find a way to block the problem completely. :)

If he disputes it, refund the first time then change the password to something really complicated then start billing him if it keeps happening after that!

And included a bit more information on what I am trying to accomplish. Solution 1 (preferred) I am working on an asterisk installation where most end users will use softphones. If I am not able to lock down calling to one phone at a time, the end users will share their login information with friends, family, neighbors, and the some girl they meet on myspace. Currently, I am able to register two phones at separate locations with the same account on each phone and make concurrent calls. For example, If I login extension 333 at location A, and 333 at location B, simultaneous calls can be placed from both phones at the exact same time. I only want calls placed from extension 333 to work from either A or B not A and B concurrently. Here is my ideal solution. Location A wants to make a call, but location B has a call in progress. Location B has to either close their phone, or hang up before Location A can make the call. OR.. Solution 2. :) A way I can distinguish in my CDR the IP address or some other recognizable difference between the two locations when they make concurrent calls using the same extension. The complication here is; I can currently the log IP addresses, but as the end phones are on the internet, Nat'd, and I am using a siparator for traversal. As a result, my logs show the IP address of the siparator and I don't have any other data to distinguish the end phones. OR.. Solution 2.5 One thought I've had is to send logs from the siparator to a syslog server, parse them, hunt for simultaneous calls placed by the same accounts from different locations, and bill the end users accordingly. But I really dislike this idea as no one likes to be hit with surcharges. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

This is a non-issue, because a second registration to the same account will override and previous registrations for that account. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users Please visit us @ www.uneta.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users Please visit us @ www.uneta.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
