Ok, just checking.  I will fiddle around with running it interactively and see what
I get, plus I'll have a look at the setuser function under Solaris.

Just for grins, what version of compiler are you using under Linux?

Thanks again!

You get the "Move To" button only after pressing "Select", otherwise it does
not make sense. See attached screendump and config example.

gcc 3.2.2 (from RedHat Linux 9.0)

Hmmm.  I like the little buttons with the pull-downs for selections. 
Unfortunately, I don't get that.  With a config of:

Find Menu commands = New, Find, Select, Config, Change password, Logout, Help, Admin
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Move To, Copy To, Config, Help

my screen only shows the "toggle" and "delete" buttons.  Was there a recent rev
that allowed this to happen (I didn't see a comment on this).  

BTW, on a log entry screen, is the appropriate behavior for the "Move To" option
to show multiple "Move To" links (one for each logbook) or should there also be
pulldowns?  

Thanks

Well, I am running 2.95.3 - hmmm.  We have 3.3.2 - perhaps I'll try that and
see if there is a difference.

Newly installed elog gives this response when I try to submit a new record:

New entry cannot be written to directory "./logbooks/Linux/" 
Please check that it exists and elogd has write access

I started the daemon.  I've not yet assigned passwords -- just checking
things out.  How can I create this access to my own directory?
  677   Wed Aug 25 13:36:56 2004 Question Bartjan Wattelwatt0006@mail.hzeeland.nlQuestionLinux | Windows2.5.3ELOG with stunnel won't show logbook
Hi,

I have an ELOG installation on a RedHat linux server, called myserver. I 
can connect to this server with the following entries in the elogd.cfg file:
   [global]
   URL=http://myserver:8080
This works fine. I can log in, select logbooks, edit/create entries etc. 
etc.

However, I want this connection to be encrypted. So I activate stunnel (v4) 
in such a way that stunnel listens to port 8081 and forwards to the 
("remote") port 8080, which is the "original" elog port. I change the URL= 
entry in de elogd.cfg file to URL=https://myserver:8081 in order to use the 
SSL encrypted connection.

At this time, when I connect to https://myserver:8081 I get the 
welcome/login screen, but when I enter the (correct) username and password, 
the elog program does not show the contents of the logbook buts shows the 
loginscreen again. If I enter a wrong username/password, I do get a correct 
error-screen. So it seems that the connection is correct, but there is some 
sort of problem in ELOG. Anyone who can give me a hand here?
