Sometimes you want to register to a SIP server which doesn't want you to :)

In these cases they're checking the SIP user agent to see if it's a string they like the look of. Some BroadWorks-based SIP servers by certain large unnamed cloud PBX hosting providers do this!

Currently with 5.2.6 there is no option in the GUI (even under any advanced settings) to set a different user agent.

However in ~/.config/linphone/linphonerc under [sip] there is user_agent=

But if you change this (even whilst the application is closed) then you find Linphone just tramples on your changes and puts it back again.

Could this be added as a feature request please, maybe in the new upcoming version 6?

There really isn't any need for it to be in the GUI really, as it wouldn't often be used... but it would be nice to have some way of setting it!
