But why would one client have problems while others don't?


You had the login expiration at 1 hour, and the time was off by one hour I guess. But each client's time is only accurate to a few minutes, so some of them had a difference to the server of 59 mins, and other had 1:01 mins. Since you had a login expiration of 1 hour, only the second one failed, while the first one should have worked for about one minute.
icon5.gif   duplicate & presets, posted by Willem Koster on Mon Dec 12 15:17:39 2005 
I'm (mis)using elog as a database. I like the fact that I can have presets for fields, but I also like the fact 
that I can make a duplicate of an entry. Now when I make a duplicate, all the fields get overwritten with the 
preset-value. Is there a way to get the preset-values only on entering a NEW reord and NOT on a duplicate ?

I could take away the presets, most of them are "***" (literally) to be able to search for entries that do not 
have a value, but I don't know how to search for empty fields.


PS: They wanted to do a CMDB in BMC-Magic (really expensive $$$-ware), but after about 1 afternoon (and about 6 
prototypes) they went with elog since it was fast, cheap and already implemented (and filled with 200 entries 
through a script using some old CSV list we had lying around) :-) 

 
icon5.gif   compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform, posted by Angus Au on Thu Feb 2 03:19:44 2006 
I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

The messages "

# make
gcc -o elog src/elog.c -lutil -lsocket -lnsl
ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to elog
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `elog'

It seems to me that library libutil does not exist on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.
icon13.gif   [261] problem with month selection, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Feb 3 11:54:22 2006 
I have several date-fields defined in my logboek. But when I click the icon and select another month the pop-up 
window get's filled  with the contants of the logboek instead of the date-selection.

Date format = %Y%m%d
icon5.gif   sort after find, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Feb 3 12:38:57 2006 
When I do a find (like Field1 = XXX )
and then try to sort the results I get the entire list again (but sorted) instead of the sorted results.
But when I fabricate a url manually like

http://elog.com/Forum/?mode=summary&npp=990&Field1=XXX&sort=field2

I do get the search-results nicely sorted.

Obviously I would like to be able to sort the result of a find-query.

Is this a bug or a feature request ?

There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.

A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the 
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week.

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.

Ups, that problem must have been there for quite some time now. I fixed it in the current SVN version.
