icon6.gif   Security (passwords over web browser), posted by Aamir Khan on Tue Feb 25 22:18:57 2003 
Stefan - Just to say that this is an excellent piece of work well done.

I have just started an internal company Elog server, couple of 
clarifications :

1) is there a way around seeing the password in text when self regestering, 
if I turn this option off when the user changes his password will this 
password still be seen?

2) I have changed all the files to be owned on my RedHat Server by the 
user:group as elog:elog and set and moved the logbooks to another directory 
other than in /usr/local/elog namely /home/elog/logbooks, my concern is is 
I was to upgrade to a newer version would it be a simple install over the 
top? any caveats?

thanks again an absolute dream program.

kind regards Aamir

Stefan and friends,

without breaching your own security, could it be possible to see what the 
elogd.cfg file looks like, also if others would like to post theirs, this 
would be great in building exmaples etc, obviosly an security related or 
mail server entries hashed out.

I am a tad new at this stuff, but eventually would try my hand at getting 
hold of the source code and compiling on AIX and then intergrating into 
shell and error reporting. - OK .. a bit in the furture anyway, if someone 
has already done this please post.

kind regards Aamir

Dear Friends,

Anyone managed to compile elog on AIX 5.2 or 5.1 ... is there a binary 
anywhere?

new to "C"

kind regards Aamir
icon7.gif   elog perl script and the command prompt and eof, posted by Arno Teunisse on Thu Sep 7 22:06:00 2006 add2elog.pl
hello

Just wrote a quick and dirty perl script ( See Attachment ) that let's you enter a record into the database. Put it into the directory where the config file is located. It look's at the "attributes = " and the "required attributes = "
within a section in the elog configuration file. The script is using elog.exe to accomplish this.

One problem with the script is that you must press Control_Z ( ^Z ) to store the data into the database.
Does anybody know how to prevent this ? It works also when redirecting the data into the script with a file input.txt. ( add2elog.pl confgi.cfg logbook < input.txt )

I Know this is NOT an elog question but maybe someone is happy with the script and has the answer for me.
icon5.gif   author field in reply, posted by Aldo Saavedra on Sun Apr 15 22:53:41 2012 
Hi,

I was wondering what is the correct way so that the author field when a reply is made shows the author of the
person making the reply.
In version 2.6, the field was filled correctly but since upgrading to ELOG V2.9.1-2435 due to the ssh problem
the field just keeps the author of the original post.

I have a tried a number of subst on reply Author = $long_name with no luck.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Aldo

Hi,
I've change my Attribute "Maint." to "Maint" in my elogd.cfg and in my Logbook too 
but the problem is the same, I have restarted the service but the problem is still 
here. Any idea? o_O

Yes I have upgraded Elog to 2.5.8-2.
