We have since discovered that the security team is scanning the box in question once a week when the service crashes, with nexpose.

So if you see something similar then you might want to explore that.

Probably some very strange URL form nexpose to trigger a potential buffer overflow. If I get the precise URL which crashes elogd, I can reproduce and
fix it.

Otherwise my usual advice: Run elogd behind an Apache proxy and do the authentication there. This way nexpose does not get to elogd, it will

The ETH physics department is running an ELOG behind an Apache reverse proxy:

You can have authentication via the Webserver or the ELOG internal one, but this is on a global level for all logbooks. You cannot mix this between logbooks.
For that, you would have to run two instances of ELOG at two different ports.

Another idea, if you have root access to the elog server, you can temporarily make the elog config file unwritable to the elog user, nobody will be 
able to change it from the web interface. (and as root, you can edit it using emacs). But in general case, yes, it is better to setup a separate 
elog instance for what you do. Still, make the config elog unwritable by the elog user, so it cannot be hacked too easily. K.O.
