I want to set up a logbook which you have to be logged in to be able to read entries. I've already got three logbooks which can be viewed by anyone but only logged-in users can modify them. For the fourth one, I want to have a private logbook which can't be read by 'guest' users. Is this possible?


Per default, logbooks can only be read by logged in users if you use "password file = xxx". It is however possible to make these logbooks readable by 'guest' users if you use "Guest menu commands = xxx" and "Guest list menu commands = xxx". So just remove these two options from your fourth logbook and you get what you want.


Thanks! I actually saw that in the config documentation, but I had assumed that it didn't work. Turns out I'd left those two options in my [global] section as well. Oops!
