I tried with your config file, and it works fine (see attached screendump). So I have no clue right now why it is not working in your case.

A fix is always for all versions, since I have a common code base. Have you tried Version 2.6.1?


Yep, 2.6.1 works fine. Thanks,

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere and I'm missing it. I want to stop users from accessing my elog by loading the URL: http://mycomputerURL:8080 and only make it accessible through http://mycomputerURL/elog. The end goal would be to use Apache to control access. I followed the instructions under "Running elogd under Apache" in the admin guide, but what that did was simply to redirect browsers trying to load ttp://mycomputerURL/elog to http://mycomputerURL:8080.


If you want to have user-level access control, you need to do that with the config option
Password file = ...

Then, if you have the
URL = http://mycomputerURL/elog

statement in your config file, you get redirected from elogd after each login automatically to that URL. If you physically want to block the 8080 port, you have to do that on the operating system level, like with iptables or ipchains.

[quote="Angus Au"]I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.[/quote]

There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.

A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the 
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week.

By the way, it is also possible to create a user that doesn't have a password! Shouldn't that be forbidden?

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.

Ups, that problem must have been there for quite some time now. I fixed it in the current SVN version.

Well, some people want that!
