I just noticed the problem of mail notification with big attachments. For a
files or photos exchange setup we could run into load and bandwidth problem
quickly. Any way to restrict mail notification by attributes or without
attachment?

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

I tried compile it in gentoo 1.4 GCC 3.3.3 without problem. However, it refuse
to run on ipcop box. The error message,
./elogd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./elogd)

I guess the kernel and/or compiler version is not matching. Any simple way to
fix it? Thanks for your help?

Now I have more error. ;(

$ gcc -O -static -o elogd elogd.c

Maybe you can post your elogd build.... just for me. :)

Thank you very much.... it work.

Thanks... Email format = 6 works. It cut out the subject too.
Any documentation on Email Format = ??
Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

It has a bug. The filter will fail on the initial page of the logbook. 

example,

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/  
when select category filter the system will return
      http://10.10.10.10:10/myylogbook/&category=hardware which is bad

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page or page1/page2 etc..other then the initial page,
when select category filter the system return the correct result.
      http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page?category=hardware.

I have not tested 2.5.3.

Usual problem for me. There is no elogd binary file in the tar.gz file. 
I remember you used to include it. :) 

nait.

The upgrade was done by just replacing elogd from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4 from the rpm.

Somehow elogd 2.5.4 treat all users as normal user. When clicking on
"config". All admin users has no "change elogd.cfg" button. Revert back to
2.5.2 OK.

Is there anything I need to change to upgrade other than replaceing elogd?
Clearing the cookies didn't help.
