asterisk users - Nov 2008 - users.conf and hints

Is there a way to override sip peers defined in users.conf with respect to their
context and hints?

Every extension I have defined in users.conf always gets an @default for the
hint priority.  Below are asterisk outputs and users.conf entries.  In peer 1203
I've set a subscribecontext, which is completely ignored.

Thanks for any help.

No, there is not.  Users.conf is meant to be a very simple interface for
adding users, designed especially for the Asterisk GUI project.  It has never
been a general purpose good interface for the full complement of Asterisk
features.  If you want a simple interface, use users.conf.  If you want full
features, use each configuration file separately.

That's not what subscribecontext does.  Subscribecontext contains the
context
where your phone will LOOK for extension states when it watches other
extensions.
