I have 4 services running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machines, 4 separate logs, only one of them is doing this, but that could be because only one of them is trying to delete records once they are posted, I cannot say.

On that one log, everything runs fine until they try to delete a record, and they are doing it under the admin login, but the service hangs.  anyone trying to log in get the 404 error that the page is not available.  to clear it I have to open Manage/Services and then Task Manager.  First I kill the process for that log book, then I can restart the service and everything is back.. trying to stop the service and then start it, or just restart the service, this does no good, in fact, it will hang at stopping the service.. it is not responding at all.  this happened to the same log when I had this on the original Windows Server 2003, so it is not new.. they just don't delete things for a long time, then they seem to do it every week, more than once.. and usually at night or on the weekend. (are they just doing it to mess with me?  Maybe, but I do not think so since it would not get me in trouble if I were busy, out of town or just not home and could not get to it until the next business day and they know this..

Any ideas what could cause this?

Elog V2.9.1-2435 if it matters. 

It is time again to install the certs for SSL in Elog, and the standard openssl command line does not seem to produce the files that I need in order to get it working on my system.

I copied the file to my trusty linux server and ran the command "openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -clcerts -out cert.pem " as I did last time, last time I got a nice little .crt and .key file.. this time.. no such luck.. I can get by with the guys just hitting the continue and go past the expired cert notice for a bit.. but if I cannot fix it reasonably soon.. well, it won't be pretty for me.. <grin>

Any ideas that anyone can give will be appreciated.. this is a bit outside my usual duties around here..

 for what it is worth, if anyone else is doing this.. try

openssl pkcs12 -in file.pkx -nodes -out file.pem

I have what I need and all is well!

 I am trying to import a CSV file in to a logbook. The Attributes seem to import fine but it kicks out the first 2 columns of data and shifts the data over to the left by 2 columns. Has anyone tried to do this?

 Here is an example of the CSV I am trying to import.

 Thanks for the quick response!!

Is there a way to configure elog so users that have their email notification
on only get notified for updates to logs they have access to? I've looked
all through the documentation and I can't seem to find a way to do this.

If not is there some way I can work around this without to much trouble?  I
have lots of logs and would really hate to have to make configuration
changes in all of them .

Having the message body mailed to you is very convenient but some of my
users only get to see their logs. If the body gets mailed to them they get
to see everything anyway. 

When I had to use separate password files this wasn't an issue.

You guessed right. I give it a try soon as I get a chance. Thanks.
