By default cdr is stored in a delimited fille, but can easily be put into a mysql table. Securing it is a good question. Asterisk is secure on its own, and I would secure the rest like ssh by changing the default ports and such. I don't know about bsd. You will fall in love with asterisk though, enjoy.

Sure. To a CSV file, and also , optionally, to several databases.

Asterisk is well known to build and run on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. But if
you're interested in that, I suppose you can ask further questions in
the asterisk-bsd mailing list.

It's not only Asterisk you have to "secure". You install Asterisk on a
system. It is that system you have to "secure". You'll probably expose
some sort of management interface to the world (a web interface, ssh,
whatever).

[NOCPH] I have to open the SIP port and web. Another question, the SIP port
is 5060 UDP, how about the conference? Does it use the same port also?

That's a good start, but you'll also need to open the RTP ports as
well - these usually fall in the 10k-20k udp range. 5060/udp is used
for call signalling only, the actual voice data can use a variety of
ports, depending on how you're set up. You can specify what RTP ports
you want to use in your rtp.conf.

There are also the RTP ports, as mentioned above. But there is more to
"securing" than opening / closing ports.

Hi,
Just a quick one.
Last month i created a asterisk system running on freebsd-7
(pre-release) Nothing special, Took an 1.4 asterisk from the ports tree.

Only minor point is that it takes foreven and a day to rebuild the whole
lot, but that is because i had to use old hardware. (bsd is pick about
hardware....)

But on the whole, it works nicely including the tdm-board.

I am going to chime in for the best turnkey solution. Switchvox. I
have setup a couple switchvox boxes (long before they were purchased
by Digium) and could not have been happier. Great UIs, functionality,
documentation, and support.

Thirdlane would be my second choice, followed by FreePBX.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
