We have since discovered that the security team is scanning the box in question once a week when the service crashes, with nexpose.

So if you see something similar then you might want to explore that.

Probably some very strange URL form nexpose to trigger a potential buffer overflow. If I get the precise URL which crashes elogd, I can reproduce and
fix it.

Otherwise my usual advice: Run elogd behind an Apache proxy and do the authentication there. This way nexpose does not get to elogd, it will

No. You need some basic knowledge to run elog. Without this knowledge, it's better if you use some other package.

Hi Janusz,

You can change the following line in elogd.h and recompile:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100

Thanks, good point, I was not sure that in case of other lists which will be changed as well, there will not be any problems, like overflow, etc. 

Regarding admin list, now I remember, that was the limit to send email notification in case of registration requests. But actually it is not
important right now.

Well, many arrays based on MAX_N_LIST are created on the heap memory, and if you exceed that, elogd simply crashes. There are compile options to increase
the stack and heap size, but that depends on the operating system and the compiler. The value of 100 has been proven to work everywhere. If you increase
it, you're on your own.
