For our application we have a lot of very common events we would like to log.  It would be preferable that for certain events/entries we could setup a single button / quick entry method.  Is there away to accomplish this?

 This would be of value for me as well. I'm trying to develop a event log for a research ship. Thanks. -ben

  265   Fri Apr 4 00:50:31 2003 Question ByronQuestion  Login user problem
When I use the <Login user => option to specify what users I want to be 
able to login into the different logbooks it does not seem to work.  Is 
there something else you are supposed to do to restrict what logbooks users 
can log into?
  266   Fri Apr 4 00:53:00 2003 Question ByronBug report  Password Problem
I noticed that when I put in a password such as <test1> a person can login 
with the password <test2> or any other number at the end.  Is the 
encryption not able to tell the difference between numbers?  The encrypted 
passwords even look the same in the password file.  Is this a bug?

Ok, I installed the latest version and this is fixed.  Thanx!

Ok, try it with the passwords <hello1> and <hello2>.  Then when you go to log 
in, put in the password of <hello> with any single number after it and let me 
know if the problem shows up for you because that is the password I was 
using.  When I look at it encrypted in the passwd file they look the same.  I 
also installed the latest version today which is newer than the one I was 
using before and it still does it.  I appreciate your time.

At some point, in the last week or so, I upgraded the debian-unstable
version (r1459-1) of elog.  Now, PostScript files (as attachments) are
displayed (shown in ascii text, instead of just showing the link).  

Is there an option in the elog.cfg to only display certain files (like .gif
or .jpg).
