Ok, now I have it.  Old Makefile because I had to perform some deletions to make "make" work
right under Solaris.  Basically, I took out the ifdef structures - "make" was blowing up on
these.  Everything now compiles perfectly -- don't change anything.  Thanks for that last pointer.

icon4.gif   Logbook locking issue, posted by Steve Jones on Tue May 17 21:38:36 2005 
Stefan, any ideas on this problem?


Quote:
Our eLog is set to create logbook entry locks and after 30minutes prevent one from re-editing an entry, thus forcing a REPLY to be created.

SCENARIO: When an *attempt* is made to edit a logbook after the 30minute timer, one gets the message that EDITING is prevented and to use the browser "Back" button.

PROBLEM: The display now shows that particular entry to be locked, even though the attempt to edit was blocked. It appears that the lock flag is set prior to the "Edit" attempt being blocked and thus the lock flag is never "unset".

Hmmm, I don't seem to be seeing any responses - is email being generated?

Stefan, not a problem. ITMT, any idea how I can manually clear this "lock"? Is it embedded in the logbook itself?

Sorry about my unusual slow response, but I'm pretty busy these days. I hope I will be able to address this problem in a two weeks from now.

ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found


The util library was added recently because of the new shell substitution functionaly, which requires the forkpty() function call. If you know in which library the forkpty is available on solaris, the makefile could be adjusted accordingly. If the forkpty is not available at all, we have to disable the shell substitution under solaris via conditional compilation.

I have checked and can find no reference within Sun documents regarding the support of the forkpty() function. I have not been following elog development lately -- what is shell substitution supposed to buy us?

-- Ah, just looked at the docs, I see what that buys us. Surely there is a similar function available that is cross platform?

See the config manual and look for $shell

icon5.gif   Work on PAM Support?, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Feb 8 18:23:52 2006 
Stefan (or any others):

Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.

Thanks

Steve

Stefan, I found the following "forkpty()" replacement for running under Solaris. The URL is http://www.developerweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2990.

Perhaps this can be used unless someone comes up with a Solaris "util" library.
