asterisk users - Oct 2005 - What's the deal with "secret=" vs. "password="?

I have RTFM, Googled and experimented on this issue, but it's
still unclear.

In the sip.conf file, what's the difference between:


secret=welcome

    and

password=welcome


The O'Reilly book example uses the first version, but I can't
get no registration with it.  The only way my SIP phones are
registered is by using the second form.

-RFH

Password = does not exist.

The reason it is probably working is that by using that you are specifying no
password for the account.  Check your settings.
