Forget the previous post:
I cannot reproduce the problem with the latest version of elogd (2.9.2-2475).

I'm using Kerberos and SSL and experience problems with individual setting of "Login user =" for different logbooks.
Sometimes (not every time, but most times) the server crashes under the following condition:
When I login at one logbook and then change to a logbook, that has a restricted "Login user" list with my login
name not in it. It created the following GDB output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
show_elog_list (lbs=0x916b768, past_n=0, last_n=0, page_n=0, default_page=1, info=0x0) at src/elogd.c:19793
19793         message_id = msg_list[index].lbs->el_index[msg_list[index].index].message_id;

Expected behaviour would be to show me the login page with the error message:
"you don't have access to this logbook".
This message is never shown for the attached configuration file.
If I remove the "Guest" commands for logbook "TestB" then elogd behaves properly.

For the moment I've just disabled "Login user" settings.

Hi all, 

Is it just my system or do others have this odd issue.

I have a pdf file which is 'upside-down', I attached it to an elog entry, and the .png image thumbnail was
generated.  Now this too was upside-down, so I tried to use the left (or right) rotation buttons along the top
of the image in elog to do a 180 degree rotation.
The first 90 degree rotation was fine, but the second attempt just made a smaller image.  
It happens with various pdf files generated by various software (in case).
I also tried it with a jpg file, in that case the second attempt enlarged the image.

I could not find any way to actually invert the .png image using elog; but I was surprised that a second
rotation ddid something different (change magnification) rather than nothing at all if it could only cope with a
90 degree rotation.

It's not a vital fix for me, but I have found the thumbnail (png) manipulation functions have a few rough edges,
so when necessary I use xv or gimp on the .png file to get what I want.

Or is this just my system?

 Our IT dept is very strict. I'll have to see if I can get email out to a web based email service like yahoo. But they will not give each of my mechanics an email account here.

Thanks

 Word of warning about fake email addresses - if your system suddenly does start to send out messages to them, you'll start getting otherwise mysterious email messages back about being unable to deliver and other such comments.  I speak from experience - although in my case the puzzle was finding what was generating the messages in the first place (not elog, another program as it happened).

I suggest you also include

Suppress default = 3

in your configuration file, which also stops them being generated in the first place. 

Although I was unaware (or had totally forgotten) that there was a 'Suppress email button' as mentioned in the documentation.

I never thought that someone will not have an email address. One basic feature of ELOG is its automatic notification if there is a new entry, and that only works over email. It's like social networks, you cannot register for Facebook if you don't have an email address.

So if you absolutely want to omit this, just give a fake email address, like nobody@no.where. ELOG just checks if there is a "@" and a "." somewhere. 

How can I skip the need for an email address when registering and logging in? Our IT dept will not give an email address to each guy I want on the log.

 never mind. I figured it out I left the <  > in the password = line

Yes I do feel stupid.
