Has been fixed in 2.0.4 (as you can see from this entry). Please make sure 
not to submit too long lines via "elog". For browser submissions, the line 
length is limited to 78 characters, but not for "elog" submissions.

icon5.gif   problem saving elogd.cfg, posted by Mo on Mon Jul 8 17:18:05 2002 
In version 2.0.4 of eLog I was having some problems with saving my 
configuration file once I edited it on the web using the config. command.
I keep getting the message "Cannot open file %s: elogd.cfg".  I made sure 
the file was in the right directory.  I dont know if I am doing something 
wrong or if its a bug?

Mo.
icon4.gif   elog submit without user and password, posted by H. Scheit on Mon Jul 8 19:42:13 2002 
With elog it is possible to submit messages to a password protected
logbook without specifying the -u option.  I.e. NO PASSWORD is
necessary to submit a message.  I assume it is related to the problem
of expiring password-cookies while entering the message using a web
browser.
icon5.gif   Compiling elog 2.0.4 on Solaris, posted by Christian Korschan on Mon Jul 8 21:01:00 2002 
Comiling elogd 2.0.4 under Solaris obviously fails with

gcc  -o elog elog.c -lsocket -lnsl
gcc  -o elogd elogd.c -lsocket -lnsl
elogd.c: In function `ss_file_find':
elogd.c:1372: `alphasort' undeclared (first use in this function)
elogd.c:1372: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
elogd.c:1372: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [elogd] Error 1

because alphasort is an ucb'ism which does not exist under SYSV

... not very portable :-(
icon5.gif   Where can I get more information on the config file, posted by Scott Fenstermacher on Mon Jul 8 22:50:16 2002 
Where can I get more information about the config and themes file. I
downloaded the latest version (2.0.4) and the config file docs seem out of
date. I would like to get the icons working as well as getting the email to
work. The demo page at the elog home site shows both but I cannot find ant
references to the icons.

Oops, I forgot the "IOptions" statement to documentation. Please see the 
updated version at

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

look for "IOptions". For the Email notification see the whole 
section "Email 
notification" near the bottom of the page.

The error display is certainly wrong. I fixed that and you can download the 
updated version at 

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/elogd.c

As for the error, you should check the file permissions. If you run the 
daemon under a user which has no write access to the directory or file, you 
would get the described error.
