Re: elogd crashes with a URL

I could not reproduce your problem. I can only fix it if I can reproduce it, so let's agree on a common test base. May I ask you to do the following:

Download the most recent elog version from bitbucket and compile it
Create two new logbooks "demo1" and "demo2" with minimal configuration, but using yor global password file which differs from the group ones
Send me step-by-step instructions how to trigger the problem, including your elogd.cfg file and your password files (of course with fake accounts)

If I can reproduce the crash, I can fix it.

URL causes elogd to crash when a global password file name doesn't match any group's password file name.

The offending URL is copied from the address field of the browser after sorting a logbook by on of the fileds.

After login out and using the copied URL, elogd shows the authentication dialog and then crashes after the credentials are submited.

Some debugging point me to a NULL pointer on the following instruction in line 25502 of elogd.c :

if (lbs->pwd_xml_tree) {

The work around was to name the global password file as the password file of one of the groups.
