Upgrade Notes:
  • safe_asterisk: Add ownership checks for /etc/asterisk/startup.d and its files.

    The safe_asterisk script now checks that, if it was run by the
    root user, the /etc/asterisk/startup.d directory and all the files it contains
    are owned by root. If the checks fail, safe_asterisk will exit with an error
    and Asterisk will not be started. Additionally, the default logging
    destination is now stderr instead of tty “9” which probably won’t exist
    in modern systems.
