That has been fixed in meantime.

Have you tried the elogd.cfg setting:
[global]
URL = http://your.host/
it might help there.

You should at least receive a login page. So does this push back occur on a
wrong username there or how does it happen?

Agree. Will work on that.

Can you reproduce the problem? If so, tell me the exact sequence of thing
you do and I can try to reproduce it as well, then fix it.

Wow, your browser crashes? Funny, I never had that. So what does the browser
say?

I will try to install 7.03 and reproduce this, might take some while...

Something like
Date format = %B %d, %Y
in your configuration file reduces the date string length considerably. |

Due to frequent requests, the elog utility reads the message body text from the
console (stdin), if it's missing on the command line (like in your case). Under
Linux, you can then pipe some text into elog
cat message.txt | elog -h ...
or under Windows
type message.txt | elog -h ...
If you enter the text directly, you have to finish it with Ctrl-Z / Return
(Windows) or Ctrl-D (Linux). If you do not want any text, you can write
elog -h .... -a Status=operational " "
to submit an empty text (well, almost empty, contains single blank). |
I am getting the following errors when trying to install elog-2.3.9 on
my FreeBSD box. I am running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE.
Many thanks!
