icon4.gif   Error with not existing user name, posted by Stefan Siegel on Wed Sep 11 18:37:27 2002 
Hi,

Elogd v. 2.1.2:

When trying to acces a password protected Log (global password file) with a 
non existing username one gets the response : cannot open file : <pw 
filename>

Better would be a message like: wrong user or password!

Regards,

Stefan

Say I have an attribute called OS

Instead of having a drop down box is there a way to use either the radio 
button like what is used with ICON?

From Version 2.1.2 on you have the option "ROptions = ..." for that.

icon5.gif   Password reset option, posted by eric wooten on Fri Aug 16 12:58:15 2002 
Some options for the password setting:
The ability that if admin creates a temporary password for the user, force 
the user to change the password once logged in.

User forgets password, system generates a random pwd and sends it to user 
via email, after they log in force pwd change. 

option to expire an account or expire a pwd after so many days??

just some ideas..

still loving the new features!!

icon5.gif   Author & pwd case sensitive ?, posted by eric wooten on Fri Aug 16 12:52:53 2002 
Is it possible to make the author and pwd check case in-sensitive??  I 
noticed that unless you type your userid and password in the same case each 
time, the system doesn't recognize your or thinks the info is invalid.

thanks,
eric

Well, that's how it should be. All other systems I know like Windows NT 
Login, Linux login etc. are case-sensitive, so we should follow that standard.

I have asked Fred Pacquier who maintains the web pages to put something on, 
but he hasn't replied.

Basically you simply run "elconv" in the directory where all the *.log files 
live. The only option is the "-v" flag for verbose output. If you have 
several directories with log files, you run it once in each directory.
icon4.gif   Problem with konqueror and pulldown menu (in config menu), posted by Stefan Siegel on Fri Aug 16 10:14:19 2002 
Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan

This operation is done via Java Script, which has to be enabled in the 
browser. If anybody knows a better way, please let me know.

No, not yet. I put it on the wishlist. I'm looking for a C function which can 
doe lexical evaluations like

  author="stefan ritt" AND (category=Question OR category="Bug Fix")

does anybody know such a function?
