I am getting the following error message with version 2.5.4-4 when I try to
add a new entry to a log book.

Attachment file "" empty or not found

If I add the following line to me elogd.cfg I do not get the error, but will
not be able to use attachments.

Enable attachments = 0

I recently upgraded from version 2.2.5 which did not have the problem.  I
did not see anything in the changelog referencing this type of change to how
attachments are handled.

I there something I need to set in the config so that an attachment is not
expected every time a new entry is made?

Sorry for that. The idea is that the -4 is the minor number between releases
(mainly for bug fixes and impatient users (;-) ). I accidently overwrote the
-4 version several times when testing a new RPM building scheme, but I promise
to take more care in the future (:-)))

Having the CVS revision in the executable is however a good idea and I will
put it in.

Stefan, would it be ok to add the "minor" revision level to the VERSION
constant?  I've been doing this after I download source just so I can keep
things straight, you keep cranking out versions ;->

EX: 
#define VERSION "2.5.4-4"
BECOMES
#define VERSION "2.5.4-4-1.483" or something like that?

Just a thought.

Thanks

I gave the user email address priority over the "Use email from" option, that
means only if the user does not have an email address, then the "Use email from"
value is used. Now I realize that the priority is maybe wrong, so I should give
the "use email from" switch the highest priority. Only if this flag is not
present, then the system uses the user's email address. If that one is not
present, too, then the system uses "elog@<host>".

I applied this change to the CVS version, so let me know if it is ok with you.

I added that code in revision 1.471.

Ok, I changed elogd such that only the first 1000 lines of inline attachments are
displayed, with a note of how many lines are truncated. By clicking on the attachment
name, one can still download the complete attachment. I guess the number of lines do
not have to be configurable, but if someone is not happy with the 1000 lines that could
be added.

Hi,

We just recently upgraded from an older version of Elog to the latest and
greatest, 2.5.4-2.  Everything is workinly nicely, except the "Use Email
From" option does not seem to work as before.  We have the option set so
that all e-mail that is sent should be from a single address, but instead it
just ignores that address and uses the e-mail address of the user currently
logged in.   

I have this set in the global section of the elogd.cfg:

Use Email From = elog@****.com

Please let me know if this is the intended function or if it may possible be
a bug.

Thanks,
Chris
