Well, some people want that! |
Ok, fair enough. But maybe there could be an optional flag in the configuration that disables blank passwords... I wouldn't want some imposter to start entering stuff under the username of another user, so it would be nice if I could have some way of forcing them to have a password, even if it's a one-letter password.
Thanks,

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. |

See the config manual and look for $shell |

Ok, I added an empty password check. If too many people will complain, I will make it a flag. |

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version. |

I can't see any double indention there...
But seriously I fixed that problem and updated this elog server already. It's in SVN revison 1653. The code now correctly chooses the proper </ul> or </ol>. What will not work however are nested lists, like an ordered list inside an unordere list, but that's anyhow very uncommon. |

MOptions Test = Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg
Selecting: Bb, Cc, Gg
Submitting the entry form, autoreturn to the overview of the even made entry, only Bb was taken.
Any Idea what's happen? Did I miss something changing in 2.6.1-1 or may this be a bug? Thanks for ideas?
Would loke to upgreade to 2.6.1. in case of the new forms for long MOptions, but need to selct more than one! |
That should work in 2.6.1-2 now. |

There are two possible reasons:
1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.
2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:
snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));
you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:
snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);
to see if that makes any difference. |
