Hello, I've been looking at XCF-1560 ( http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-1560 ) and XCF-2355 ( http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-2355 ) and have been looking around to see if I can find a place to start implementing these. I've seen three places where to start, so here goes: 1. Under Devices -> Network Parameters, there is an option to add NTP server. I see that this server is propagated to devices and is probably sent as part of their configuration. Am I correct? Shouldn't this NTP server have any impact on the locally defined NTP server, if one exists? Or, better yet, if there is a local NTP server, shouldn't this be inserted automatically in the DB? Anyway, would this be a place where to put the time settings, or is this too hidden. Or should NTP be removed from network parameters and added to a more general System -> Time Settings ? 2. I've seen the concept of System -> Locations. This is not yet documented, but I've seen that it was introduced by http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-1440 . So the primarily goal of Locations seems to be the administration of the HA System. But could this concept be extended to include places where no server is present? And could devices, users , devices group and users group belong to specific location(s)? This would seem like a very nice way to organize things, although it's not that different from groups. Even more would allow a few settings based on location like time settings, and I'm sure a few others. Also, I've been following the (very interesting) discussions around http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XECS-415 and I've been thinking that this would also be a nice way to prioritize gateway selection. 3. A third place where to put time setting would be device groups. This would require a default group added which would be configurable with NTP server and time zone.
So which on would be better? Please comment. A few other thins: - On XCF-1560, because of http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-2427 , Damian commented: "The UI should also display the current date/time". Should the time be displayed in the header/footer throughout the interface, or only in the time configuration panel? - On XCF-1734 ( http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-1734 ), a duplicate of XCF-1560, Damian posted the question: "Can someone comment if changing time while sipx services are running will be OK. I suspect CDRs will become meaningless. Anything else?"... - XECS-1194 ( http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XECS-1194 ), another duplicate of XCF-1560 asks for the setting of time from the config server. With the new changes taking part in sipXsupervisor, will this be achievable? Is there a way to tell sipXsupervisor to run a certain command under a specific user? I see that now, for example, sipXvxml runs as root, but this is achieved by setting the special setuid permission.. Please comment.
