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.

I get my Icons and Graphics in the top group now.  Thanks for fixing it.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the current CVS version.

I am running 2.5.8-3 with the elogd.c 1.632.  I have attached the config
file that I am using.   I have a top group "src", with logbooks "SRC
Analysis" and "SRC Mail" in it.  These two logbooks share the same password
file.  If one logs into one, I would like them to be not have to login to
the other.  If I put the password file name under [global src], I get this
behaviour, but the logbook selection page does not show my graphic or the
locks by the logbook names (instead it has the Alt text "This logbook
requires authentication."  If I remove the password from [global src] and
put it in each logbook individually, then my logbook selection page looks
OK, but I have to log into each logbook seperately.

Not easily. There is only a single logbook and resource directory inside elogd.
The reason is that these are constants which can be fixed during compile time.
The Debian package uses this extensively. So having multiple directories would
break that scheme.

I'm afraid you have to use soft links. The favicons you can define however via
the theme, which is a per-logbook option, so it would work in the [global
topgroupname] section as well.

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

Your question is at elog:Forum/1099
A script for thumbnail generation is at elog:Contributions/12
Demo entries: elog:Linux+Demo/14, elog:Linux+demo/1

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)

I am trying to unify several existing logbook collections that run on
seperate servers under a single server using groups.  For a top group, under
"[global topgroupname]", I would like to redefine the resource directory or
the logbook directory so that everything except for the .cfg is at it
original location.  However, it seems like "Resource dir" and "Logbook dir"
can not be redefined in the global section for specific groups.  Is it
possible to redefine these directories for each top group, or is it feature
that could be added?

I could probably do what I want with soft-links, but redefining the resource
dir just seems to be right way to do this.  (For one thing, I would like
different favicons for each group.)
