asterisk users - Aug 2009 - bare minimum /etc/asterisk for sip based *

What files at a bare minimum need to be in /etc/asterisk for an
asterisk server that does sip only and voicemail.  I'm setting up an
asterisk server to provide service for a single SIP softphone
extension with SIP origination and termination.  The main purpose of
using * is for voicemail and future expansion ability.

I know I need

sip.conf
extensions.conf
voicemail.conf

but what else?

do I need:

asterisk.conf
codecs.conf
rtp.conf
indications.conf
say.conf
modules.conf
dnsmgr.conf
logger.conf
dnsmgr.conf

if so which of these as well?

Thanks,

Eric

The easiest way to get up and going is to just do "make samples" from 
the Asterisk source directory - then if you really want to remove config 
files, delete them and restart Asterisk once you have got everything up 
and going.

You probably don't need dnsmgr.conf twice :)

I'm a 1.2 Luddite, but if you don't have indications.conf, some phones 
will not "ring."

Modules.conf (without the autoload cruft) will let you explicitly tell 
Asterisk which modules you want.

Logger.conf says how much logging to do and where to put it. I strongly 
suggest syslogging to a central log host so you can [analyze|ignore] 
everything at once.
