Well, don't shoot yourself in the foot! The communication between elog and elogd is limited. elog
more or less submits "blindly" whatever you give it on the command line. If "Fixed Attributes
Edit/Reply" is set in the configuration, this only affects the web page with the entry form, so
these attributes are not shown as edit boxes. They are not checked during submission by elogd. Now
to get the same functionality with elog, elog whould have to retrieve the full entry form, analyze
the HTML code, find out which attributes have edit boxes and which ones not. So that's a lot of
work. Since most people use elog in scripts, they set it up once and forever correctly. There are
actually a few people which even want the functionality that elog can change attributes which are
normally fixed.
