      Description

      The default Asterisk SIP settings for a VERY long time now is Allow anonymous = no, Allow SIP Guests = yes. There may have been legit reasons to have guests = yes in the past, but I'm pressed to figure out any value to these defaults on a system today.

      One possible value, and the probable reason why the defaults are the way they are, when guests is enabled, there is a log line that allows fail2ban to act on stray INVITEs, but in the FreePBX distro, the responsive firewall should also be able to deal with them without logging.

      Looking for comments from the community, is there ANY value to having Allow SIP Guests enabled by default on new installs?
