the scenario is:

I dont want elog to listen on external interface, so.. why do not use the URL cfg attribute for this issue ?


You can specify the interface to liste on with the
"-n <interface>"
parameter of elogd.


I know Smile

the following is the configuration I'm telling about... and it raises the problem reported
albert@YYYYYYYYY:~$ ps axu | grep elog
elog     22348  1.0  1.9 23660 20408 ?       Ss   11:32   4:54 /usr/sbin/elogd -f /var/run/elogd.pid -c /etc/elog.conf -d /var/lib/elog -s /usr/share/elog -p 8081 -n 127.0.0.1 -x -D

Well, that teaches you not to do this error again Wink


uhm.. I think the confusion intrinsict in elog between long and short name is something to be solved ..
an attribute of type "userlist" fills always with the long_name .. but if I would to insert it as short ?

the users shown in the users admin dropdown menu is short .. why? .. may be I didnt understood the way this issue works .. Crying

It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..

Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..

a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..

My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time..
