asterisk users - Jun 2010 - How to get asterisk to playback personal greetings using grandstream gxp-2000

All:

I am using the standard voicemail in asterisk. Everything works well, 
except, if a users wants to record their own personal greeting, it 
doesn't playback.

I can see the soundfile being created.  I suspect it is a setting in the 
voicemail.conf, or an option I am over-looking on the grandstream, but 
if anyone can point me in the write direction, I would certainly 
appreciate the help.

Also, I would like for the user to be able to set up their own 
password.  I set the initial password the same as the extension, so that 
forces voicemail to prompt for a new password.  The problem is, I can 
see where asterisk is trying to write the password in the voicemail.conf 
file, but it is denied because the user doesn't have permission.  I hate 
to open /etc/asterisk directory to the incorrect permissions.  What 
would be the best way to enable the user to be able to change their 
password?

Thanks,

Eddie

Hi

Are you using the u option in the Voicemail step?

As for the password, all the files in /etc/asterisk should be owned by 
asterisk.asterisk
