  66314   Tue Apr 14 22:51:15 2009 Warning Simon Pattonsjpatton@lbl.govBug fixAll2.7.6Long cookie content is not handled properly.
I discovered the infinite loop in 2.7.5 which can happen when a cookie's content is longer that the cookie array
designed to hold it. I also note that this issue has been addressed in 2.7.6, but the solution does not appear
to be correct and it can end up completely confusing the cookie extraction.

In 2.7.5 the code was:
    for (i = 0; *p && *p != ';' && *p != '\r' && *p != '\n' ; )
        if (i < (int) sizeof(cookie)-1)
            cookie[i++] = *p++;

While in 2.7.6 is became:
    for (i = 0; *p && *p != ';' && *p != '\r' && *p != '\n';)
        if (i < (int) sizeof(cookie) - 1)
            cookie[i++] = *p++;
        else
            break;

This leaves 'p' pointing to the middle of the cookie's content and I can not see that this is corrected in the loop (sorry if I've missed that).

The solution I used to patch 2.7.5 was the following:
    for (i = 0; *p && *p != ';' && *p != '\r' && *p != '\n' ; ++p)
        if (i < (int) sizeof(cookie)-1)
            cookie[i++] = *p;

which simply truncates the contents of the cookie (which is assumed not to be an elogd cookie) but leaves 'p' in the right place to extract the next one.

thanks for your quick reply.

the configuration is still not working.  See my entry below which denies everyone.

I've tried many different combinations of 'hosts allow and hosts deny'

we want to restrict all our logbooks to only domain lbl.gov

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
 

Can you help?

Hi Susan,

according to the documentation you need to add "Hosts deny = All" in addition to the "Hosts allow" command.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).

  • Hosts allow = <list>
  • Hosts deny = <list>

These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

  • Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
  • Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
  • Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

Hi All,

We're still having trouble with hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

We're trying to allow all of our domain  lbl.gov to the access list

for our logbooks.  But the combination below is not working.

==========================

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov

========================

  68886   Fri Feb 8 14:43:13 2019 Question Patrick Sizunsizun@cea.frBug reportLinuxv3.1.1Images in notifications

Hello,

I am using Elog v3.1.1. When entries contain embedded images, these images are attached to the email notifications but are not properly displayed in the body of the email.
Is it expected?
For example, with an image file myimage.png the email source code contains <img alt="" height="150" src="190208_143305/myimage.png.png" width="200">
Maybe the email should make use of the Content-ID of the attached image?

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

  66317   Wed Apr 15 11:43:14 2009 Question Gabriele Sirrisirri@bo.infn.itQuestionWindows2.7.6-2191ROptions value changed in the edit page
When ROptions items contain the same substring and this substring is also an ROptions item (ex: notdone, 
done), the value of the entry could change in the edit page. 
It depends on the item order in the config file. 

If Options is used (instead of ROptions), it works as expected.

Is it a bug?


Examples : 

#Insert "notdone" as new entry. When you try to edit the entry, the displayed value is "done".

[test_bad]
Attributes = Author, Category
ROptions Category = notdone, done

#No problem if you change the item order 

[test_good]
Attributes = Author, Category
ROptions Category = done, notdone

Hello.

Please look at the entry 66525 of this forum (just 5 thread before this one):

 ->  chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Thu Sep 3 21:55:52 2009         (66525)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009       (66526)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Wed Oct 7 07:56:52 2009 (66556)

When you collapse the thread, it is collapsed to the 66526 instead of the 66556 (more recent)

  +      Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009  

I guess it is because both 66526 and 66556 replies to the first entry. 
I have the same problem with Elog v2.7.7-2246 and Windows. 

In general, it seems to work well only if you always reply to the last entry of a thread.

  Thank you.


b.t.w. : is there any tip to always force reply to the last entry of a thread?
