I checked your elogd.cfg: The flag is called "Expand default" not "Expand" as 
you had it. With "Expand default = 0" it works fine. Just RTFM...

i could probably recite the manual from memory :/ i wouldn't ask if i wasn't confused about something.

i thought the 'default' word was explaining what the default was for the 'expand' flag, not an actual part of the flag. 

if you are guest in the find option  

select 'all logbook'

it will display all 'attributes' from other logbook 
with no option  'guest command ...'
but having the same 'attribute' name

Solution :
**********
I use the copy to command to make a copy to other logbook
with option 'guest command' enabled

in this section I remove some field so the guest user can't no see all field

I suggest to give acces to 'guest' on a second run of elog to another
port or other computer ?

I see your problem. I could either disable the "Search all logbooks" switch 
for certain logbooks (like the guest one), or restrict the search to logbooks 
which have a "guest command" option. What would you prefer?

may be add a parameter

Restrict Search all logboog = 1 or 0
if 1 the switch will not appear

The flag "Search all logbooks" is already there! (I forgot about it!). So 
just set it to "0" and you should be fine.

not really a bug
works very fine just remarks : with this example
Group Phone & Adress = Whois, Qui_est_Qui
Group Extranet = Aide, Promos_Clients, Qui_est_Qui, Joke

[whois] is a intranet section for us : [qui_est_qui] is public
I add   'copy to = Qui_est_qui' 
so extranet or public can acces to limited information
just remove the attributes and guest user can see only limited info
see example below

small problem : 
****************
Logbook Tabs = 0  in the guest logbook will close the group header
may be create a parameter to solve ?
GroupGuest Extranet = ....

;--------------------  intranet info----------------
[Whois]
Comment = MBA & his Partner all your personal info must be here
Subdir = whoiswho
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Find, Help, Copy to

What I would recommend in that case is to run two copies of elogd in 
parallel, one for the public and one for the private section. They can even 
run on differnt ports so the firewall can block the private section. If the 
private logbooks are not defined in the public elogd, they don't show up in 
the logbook tabs, so only the publick logbook tabs are seen. Please note 
that two elogd daemons should not have concurrent write access to the same 
logbook, since there is not locking and the logbook could get messed up that 
way. So only one elogd should have write access to any logbook.
