You get the "Move To" button only after pressing "Select", otherwise it does
not make sense. See attached screendump and config example. |

Ok, just checking. I will fiddle around with running it interactively and see what
I get, plus I'll have a look at the setuser function under Solaris.
Just for grins, what version of compiler are you using under Linux?
Thanks again! |

Thank you. I had added the "Move To" and this works at the log entry level (i.e., "Move
To <name>) but in the threaded view one does not get the enumerated list of logbooks.
I'll play around with it a little more before re-posting. When it didn't work as I
expected I read the docs and ran across the confusing text - so I stopped and asked!
Thanks again. |

I could not reproduce your problem with the current version (Revision 1.460)
under Linux. I guess you made sure that user "nobody" and group "essadm" exist.
Try to run elogd interactively, if you see any error message (without "-D"
flag). In the most recent version (1.460), I added some more debugging code
which tells you if elogd successfully fell back to another user, if you use the
"-v" (verbose) flag.
If all that does not help, I guess it's some peculiarity of Solaris. Maybe
someone else using Solaris has some idea. All elogd does is a call to
setuser("<user>");
I see no reason why this should not work on Solaris. |

SELECT can be used for deletion OR moving OR copying. To enable the copy and move
commands, they have to be present in the "Menu commands" list, like
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Config, Logout, Move to, Copy
to, Help
I added an appropriate note to the documentation, sorry for the misleading descriptoin. |

The elogd binary *is not* setuid 0.

This is not clear but was the intent to indicate that SELECT can be used to
either select multiple log entries for deletion OR for moving to another
logbook? If the latter, then this does not work if one adds the MOVE TO
menu item to the list. If the former then the helptext is a little misleading.
Thanks! |
