I thought AVP stuff was database related.... this confuses me even more. I am reading the documentation you know.... constantly. Considering it looks like it was written by the people who developed OpenSER, there's a lot of implied/assumed knowledge there, and the scripting language is very high level, it's bloody difficult to work out what the documentation means.
For example... where's the definitiaion of AVP? I still can't find what an 'rpid' is.

Before you can take advantage of what OpenSER has to offer, you should become familiar with the the various RFC's associated with SIP communication.
AVP stands for Attribute - Value Pair. Basically, it maps an attribute for example, "NPA" to a value such as "212". The AVP's do have the ability to use databases to store and retrieve values, however, this is not a requirement. The configuration file can set, test and/or access an AVP without any database access. In real life situations, you will most probably want to use a database to store and retrieve AVP's.
RPID is defined here: http://www.iptel.org/ietf/security/identity/draft-ietf-sip-privacy-04.txt

i don't know what is cracy, since no database interaction is needed to set a timer. timers can be set in many different ways. read usrav documentation.
