I just had a weird experience. My Asterisk installation stopped working, and upon investigation I found that the ownership of several files had changed from asterisk:asterisk to root:root. The files in question were: /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf /etc/asterisk/features.conf /etc/asterisk/rtp.conf /etc/asterisk/sip.conf /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv /var/spool/asterisk/astdb Asterisk has been running for quite a while (several weeks at least) since I last modified any of the configuration files. I did reboot earlier today when I was unable to cleanly stop BIND on this box. (32-bit Scientific Linux 6.1, BTW.) Anyone have any idea what just happened?
