asterisk users - Dec 2009 - dahdi-channels.conf -v- chan_dahdi.conf

Some recent issues I had with hardware seem to come back to not
understanding two very similarly named files:

/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

I've modified the chan_dahdi.conf to work now, but it would appear all I
needed to do was include dahdi-channels.conf in chan_dahdi.conf and the
problem would not have persisted? Is it me or is that a bit Monty
Python?

; If you edit this file and execute /usr/sbin/dahdi_genconf again,
; your manual changes will be LOST.

intended
; to be #include-d by /etc/chan_dahdi.conf that will include the global
settings

Either copy it as-is to the end of chan_dahdi.conf or add the following
line to the end of chan_dahdi.conf:

  #include dahdi-channels.conf
