I believe only through an edit of the C code and a recompile, as the values
are set as constants.  I think this might be the line:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100

So, yes, there exists a way and the ease of this way is dependent upon your
comfort level with changing stefan's code.

Agree. The only potential problem is that if this value becomes too big, you
will get a stack overflow from time to time. So best is experiment yourself a
bit. A avlue of 150 or so should be no problem.

That bug has been fixed recently, please update to the newest version.

Ok, i compiled the code below and ran it,
it prints out:

timezone: 134513644

but in BASH shell if i type DATE, then this is the output:
Mon Oct 18 09:44:00 NZDT 2004
so it does know about NZ time...

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks all.

Hi.

I'd like to use elog as a tool ta keep my notes, links, passwords... It's installed on my personal computer at home (Debian Squeeze), behind a Ip-Cop firewall, so I guess it won't be accessible from anywhere outside. But I'd like to protect the log with a password anyway. BTW, I had some hard time figuring out how to configure the different files for french (there was a problem with UTF8 mixing up with Latin1... I recoded the language file to UTF8 to solve it).

I followed the procedure described here, but I have a problem with second stage :

• I set Password file = elog.pwd in the elog.conf file (it's not elog.cfg on Debian...)
• I restart the daemon
• I try to login to http://localhost:8080/, and receive the message : "error opening the file elog.pwd"

I get this message even after :

1. adding my user account to the elog group
2. launching Epiphany as root

So I guess I have to create (how ???) the file elog.pwd, which, if I understand correctly, can be empty at the start... But where do I save it ?

Thank you for any help, and sorry if I'm a little confused. I had hard time figuring out where to find everything.

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged
user.
I also tried to upgrade to version 2.5.3 but running under this version does not ask
for passwords so I reverted to 2.5.2.

Besides these few details, your software is great !

Thank you,

Alexandre

If he logs out, how can he access a logbook at all? He should be presented a login
screen, nothing else...

Better first let's fix this problem. Under what circumstances does 2.5.3 not ask for
passwords? Maybe you can get the newest version from CVS (see download page) and try
again, I had problems when using the -DHAVE_CRYPT functionality, but I guess you did not
have that, do you?

So once you tried the latest snapshot, and still have problems, describe them carefully,
send me your configuration file, and I will have a look.
