Great software.

Okay, so I've done my reading through the forum and got a couple of nuggets along the way but I am still unable
to get the e-mail function to work.  I am using Windows IIS to make an SMTP virtual server to shimmy around the
IT firewall.  That appears to work as I can see the response from the external SMTP server while running elogd
with the -v flag.  The elogd -v details are below:  

Email from xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com to xxxxxx.XXXXXXX@XXXXX.com,XXXXX.XXXXX X@XXXXX.com, SMTP host
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.XXXXX.com: 
220 smtp.xxxxx.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.2600.2180 ready at   Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:56:35 -0500 
EHLO xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxxxx.com

250 OK AUTH LOGIN 
Username: 
xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com 
Password: cm9jaGVsb2dib29r 
535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful 
==== Return ================================  

From the SMTP server response it is not logging in, but I don't know why.  I can log in to the webmail app with
the username/password provided to ELOG, but it doesn't appear to work through ELOG. The SMTP provider includes
the following info to setup e-mail accounts via SMTP: "Please note: To send e-mail using the SMTP-Server,
activate SMTP Authentication. Please do not use the Secure Password Authentication (SPA) option. Optionally,
port 587 can also be used in addition to the default port (25) RFC 2476." 

For authentication via the Windows IIS I have "basic authentication" with no TLS encryption required - I'm not
sure if that meets the provider's "SMTP authentication" requirement.  When I was using the previous version of
ELOG (sorry, I did not note the version number) the username was encrypted along with the password.  With the
2168 build, the password is still encrypted but the usernamer is not; should the password be in "plain text" as
well?  

I can provide you with a username/password for the SMTP provider I'm using if that will help.  Please send me a
separate e-mail and I will reply with the information.  

Thank you,

missing '.' in emails
-----------------------

A dot '.' at the beginning of a line is not transmitted via email.
It is stored in the entry properly though.

Test:
./There is a dot just before '/There...'

Greetings, Heiko

Well it seems here it is working fine...

  892   Sun Jan 23 02:51:58 2005 Question John Habermannjohn.habermann@wilderness.org.auQuestionLinux2.5.5+r152mirroring specific logbooks
Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to define what logbooks you want
mirrored in the [Global] part of the elogd.conf file. I want to mirror the
logbooks that I use for work from my laptop to the work server but I have
set up other logbooks that I will use for uni and other non work projects. 

I have set the mirroring up in [Global] using the cron based settings but I
am guessing that is going to try and mirror all the logbooks. 

;The mirror settings
Mirror server = tanami:8080
;Mirror the contents of the elogd.conf file for individual logbooks but not
global settings
Mirror config = 1
;Mirror every hour between 07:00 and 20:00 during the week day
Mirror cron = 0 7-20 * * 1-5
Mirror user = john

I gather my personal logbooks won't sync across as I get an "error accessing
remote logbook" so that is fine but was just wondering if you can set it so
that you can define in global what logbooks you want to sync.

thank you
John

  1668   Thu Feb 9 00:37:29 2006 Entry Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govQuestionLinux2.6.1-1622menu commands - user list does not match config list
I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:

Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help

but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:

CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home
New | Find | Select | CSV Import | Config | Logout | Help

Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?

Thanks, Alan
  67811   Fri Feb 20 11:04:03 2015 Question robrob@5db.nlQuestionLinux2.7.1maximum attributes for drop down menu.
We use a servername field to be able to select a server.

When i entered my entire serverlist (574 entries), only 250 of them show up.

Looking at the online documentation about attributes, it is stated that there is a maximum of 100 entries.

With the version we are using (2.7.1) it seems the limit is 250

Can someone tell me if version 3 has the same limitation, or that the max has been increased?

Rob.
