Is there anyway to restrict access so that a user can only see the log entries they post or only replies to their log entry?  I know it is possible to restrict editing to only posts they submitted, but I have a need to not even allow them to see other posts except for what they submitted and I am wondering if this is possible currently, or if this is planned, or could be planned for a future version?

Thanks,

Allen

Thank you for your response.  

I can certainly use another filename, but I'm curious why elog doesn't convert the filename "000000_000000_file.txt" to
"YYMMDD_HHMMSS_000000_000000_file.txt" when it gets uploaded.  All other files are automatically prepended with this
string.  Manually renaming the file and then editing the elog entry via text editor seems to fix the file.

thanks,

Arghh! Why did you choose such a filename? This is the ELOG internal file format, which is YYMMDD_HHMMSS_name.ext. 
For internal reasons (mainly for synchronization) the system checks every file name, and if it contains 6 numbers 
followed by a "_" followed by 6 other numbers it thinks it's a valid date/time and uses that. Your time is however 
0.0.0000, that's why it gets converted to some date in 1999. Do you absolutely need this functionality? While I can 
easily remove the interpretation of the date, it would break the synchronization functionality and I would have to 
find some other method to pass the file date/time, which would be quite some work. So if it's not too important for 
you, I would like to keep it as it is.

The original idea was that one outcomments the whole line, like

#USE_SSL = 1

which always worked, but I agree that your solution is more general, so I changed the official Makefile. Thanks for 
that.
