Couldn't one include the extra <table> tag only when there is really more than
one attribute per line.  All other lines could then be aligned properly.

To increase the width is not really a solution, since this depends on the
text size used.  See attachment with really big text.

Sure one can do a lot of things if one has enough time and not tens of other
requests on the wishlist which really concern some functionality and not just
cosmetics.

The elogd.cfg is attached in the previous message as attachement 3. Sorry it is a
little bit buried between pictures.
The reason I put the picture of the global elogd.cfg is to show that the not logged
user has access to elogd.cfg which is some kind of trouble...

Hi I tried to remove the cookies and it still did not ask for password under 2.5.4.
Has the password file format changed between 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 ?

Just don't use curly brackets (;-)

Nevertheless I fixed it in the current version (see subject)

Ok, now I see your problem. You defined a "Guest menu commands" which explicitly allows
not-authorized access (that's what it's for). If you only want to allow authorized
access, remove the "guest menu commands" from the logbook sections and also from the
[global] section.

Please note that if an option is not preent in a logbook section, it is looked for in
the [global] section. I see that most of your logbooks have similar settings. Just put
them into the [global] section, and override it in the logbook section if they are
different.

Thank you, I misunderstood how the "Guest menu commands" worked I thought I had to specify
a limited set of commands to actually limit guest users.

Thanks again for your wonderful work on this program too.

Regards,

Alexandre

Ouch!
And just to add insult to injury, the same <table> structure doesn't even look the
same between, say, IE6.0 and FireFox 0.9!!

Stefan, keep up the good work!
