Yep, 2.6.1 works fine. Thanks,

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. |

Re: elog allows me to create user "blahblah ", posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Fri Feb 3 18:25:32 2006

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

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. |

It doesn't log me in, but it gives me no error message either. I also found that if I repeat the process it adds yet another entry in the password file, by the same name "boing ". Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration? |
Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen 
I can add a simple check if the name contains blanks, but then some people will come up with other strange characters (@#$%), and I'm not sure which of those gives problems. If you test this carefully and tell me which characters to make forbidden, I will happyly add a simple check. |
