IP address allowed in default Freeswitch ACLs

[Lionel Sausin]

Dear developers,

I recently installed BigBlueButton 0.81-beta according to http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/081InstallationUbuntu#Installing_BigBlueButton_0.81-beta .
I noticed that the Freeswitch has an ACL to allow a access from a specific (unroutable) IP address:
in /opt/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/acl.conf.xml
    <list name="lan" default="allow">
      <node type="deny" cidr="192.168.42.0/24"/>
      <node type="allow" cidr="192.168.42.42/32"/>
    </list>
Is this on purpose? and if so, would someone please be king enough to explain me the use for this ?
The commit for these lines say "Example minimal freeswitch config handling auto created conf numbers":
    https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/commit/1d0761b97a75508e7a97c96525cfd82f062e9554

Thanks in advance,
Lionel Sausin.

Hi Lionel,

In adapting FreeSWITCH to BigBlueButton we added the BigBlueButton-specific configurations, but left the FreeSWITCH same configuration.

It is unlikely that any BigBlueButton server on the internet has a 192.168.42.x subnet.   Still, we'll look at removing it before 0.81 final ships.   Thanks for point it out.

 

Regards,... Fred

Thanks for the clarification.
Would you like a bug report for that ?
Lionel.
