Yes thats wicked perfect, now im prob being thick but is there a way to hide 
logbook tabs in the same way, as i dont really want to use groups as the 
people that use the system arent really techie and the titles will confuse 
them :)

Im trying to make it idiot proof for them 

Cheers

Ah, you mean by "summary screen" the initial logbook selection screen where 
each logbook is displayed in one line. For that case, I just added a 
flag "Hide from selection". If set to "1", this logbook is not dispalyed 
among the list of logbooks. Is this what you want? New version under CVS.

What about grouping the archive logbooks into a logbook group? Like:

Group Pubilc = Logook1, Logbook2, ...
Group Archive = Archive1, Archive2, ...

So if a "normal" user is in the public group, it only sees Logoook1, ... and 
a single tab "archive", which is then (I hope) not too much to choose from.

Is there a way to hide logbooks from all views.

Basically i want to use the move function to move old entries to another 
logbook but only want administrators to be able to see the logbooks in the 
view, everyone will just see the primary ones.

At the min im having to put Archive logbook, everyone is complaining at me 
that there is too many to choose from :)

Any suggestions ?

This error is caused if elogd cannot contact your SMTP server for sending 
email. Can you please check the "SMTP host" entry in the configuration file?

Unfortunately not. The old system had a bug which deleted the last one or two 
characters, if the password length was dividable by three. Since the 
characters were deleted, there is no way to reconstruct the full password. I 
apoligize for the inconveniences, I know that this can cause lot of trouble, 
but therefore I implemented the "Forgot password?" functionality, so that 
users can log in again. Alternatively, one can edit the password file, delete 
all passwords, and ask the users to log in without password and change it 
afterwards immediately.

Error sending Email 
Please use your browser's back button to go back  

HTTP/1.1 200 Document follows Server: ELOG HTTP 2.3.5 Content-Type: 
text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 Connection: Keep-Alive Keep-Alive: timeout=60, 
max=10

Yet nickc is in the password file, it generates the same message for any 
other users in there too.

Is there a way to convert all the hashes from one system to another, the 
problem ive got is my password files are quiet large and want upgrades of 
this nature to go seemlessly without people complaining about it.

Which error? Can you be more specific. I tried it myself with this forum and 
it worked for me.
