Hi, I was wondering if this is possible. I've tried to sort on anything other than the first few fields and although the screen refreshes like it is 'doing something', it does NOT sort. Sometimes it will take me to the last page of my data, but still no sorting. I use Debian Linux verson of Elog. There have been no other issues. I need to figure out how to do this without parsing it to another program first. Thanks again for this wonderful program :)

Sorting does work fine, if you do it correctly. From your post I cannot even guess what you've tried - let alone tell you what you did wrong.

Please post your config, some example entries and a description of what you've tried, what you expected to happen and what actually happened. Screenshots are often very useful as well.

Hi Andrea and thank you soo much  for your kind and prompt reply! I believe the issue will be solved as I have the information I need to proceed. I was just wanting to verify that sorting indeed is alloud on ALL fields.  I cannot send the exact config as it is a work project, but I can replicate with fake fields and data if necessary in the future. I believe my errors are because I am either using field names which are 'special' to the system, or some other limitation. I will try compiling and see if that helps.

I'm trying to wrap our elog instance to our company domain which is lbl.gov

I add this entry below (without quotes) to elogd.cfg and it's not working.  the world can see our logbooks

" Hosts Allow = *.lbl.gov ".

can someone help?

Hi Susan,

• Hosts allow = <list>
• Hosts deny = <list>

These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

• Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
• Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
• Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

thanks for your quick reply.

the configuration is still not working.  See my entry below which denies everyone.

I've tried many different combinations of 'hosts allow and hosts deny'

we want to restrict all our logbooks to only domain lbl.gov

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
 

Can you help?

Hi All,

We're still having trouble with hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

We're trying to allow all of our domain  lbl.gov to the access list

for our logbooks.  But the combination below is not working.

==========================

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov

========================
Can someone help?
