Subject: Bug? Password file location changed 
I just tried to upgrade from 2.6.1-1633 to 2.6.2-1734. Whenever I tried to access the elog, it showed my password to be invalid. I tried this on 2 machines and same results. I did notice on the second one when I started it from a command prompt that it was creating a new empty password file in a different location.

I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.

I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.

Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.
