So subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds, do the following:

- In Thunderbird, click "Tools/Account setting", then click "Add account",
"RSS News & Blogs", "Next", "Finish", "Ok".

- Select "News & Blogs" in the "Folders" pane, right-click and select
"Properties"

- Click on "Manage Subscriptions..."

- Click on "Add"

- Enter the Feed URL of elog. Use your logbook URL and add "elog.rdf". For
this forum for example, enter

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

- Click OK. That's all.

See how the RSS feed shows up in the attached image. Please note that you
need public read access to your logbook for this to work (via "Guest menu
commands"), since the RSS mechanism does not support authentication.

Is it possible to create a Link To command (ala Copy To, Move To) that
would allow you to reference an entry in another log book without copying it?
This would be handy as the info would be kept current in both log books.
My thought is that it would create a psuedo entry in the other log
book that pointed back at the originating log book entry (similar to a 
UNIX soft link)

What you ask for is not possible due to internal reasons. The underlying database
does not support links. But what you can do is to reference a logbook entry with

elog :<loglook>/<id>

So I can reference your question with elog:Forum/1099. Some people make even
complete "summary" pages where they reference a whole set of other logbook entries like

Since updating to version 2.5.8 we have been having problems with the elogd 
service crashing whenever anyone attempts to log out. We are using stunnel 
4.09 on a Win 2k system.

When someone tries to log out of e-log from their desktop the machine 
hosting the service throws an error popup wanting to report to Microsoft. 
The error signature has the following information:

szAppName: elogd.exe
szAppVer: 0.0.0.0
szModName: elogd.exe
szMidVer: 0.0.0.0
offset: 0003586a

Clicking to get the technical information it wants to send it shows these 
two file names:

C:\DocumentsandSettings\krobinde\LOCALS~1\temp\WER6F.tmp.dir00
\elogd.exe.mdmp
C:\DocumentsandSettings\krobinde\LOCALS~1\temp\WER6F.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt

Let me know if there is any further information you need.

It's hard to tell the problem from what you report. Have you tried the latest
release http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/elog258-6.exe ? There were
some problems with the password file in 2.5.8 versions prior to patch level 6.

Yes, I am up to date with the latest version (2.5.8-6).

What other information can I provide that might assist in diagnosing this?

Please send me your elogd.cfg configuration file.

Stefan - I am having the exact same problem as outlined here. I sent you an
email with a somewhat complicated config file. Attached to this message is a
much simpler one. 

With this file, if you remove the B5 server (remove it from top group a2, and
remove the [b5] entry) the crash does not happen. If the B5 server (or any
additional server) is in the file, then the problem occurs.

For me, there are 3 places where the crash happens:
- on logout
- when an invalid username/password is used to login
- when you login to A1, then try to go to A2

This is happening on elog v2.5.9-1 (built May 2, 2005, 12:17:18 revision 1.642)

I have tried on windows 2000 and 2003 servers, and it seems to happen on both of
them.
