  246   Thu Mar 13 17:30:16 2003 Entry nicknick@nick.comBug report  Problems with 2.3.2
Ive just installed the RPM of Elog 2.3.2 and ive found a bug relating to 
port bindings, basically im running elog bound to port 81 and when i 
install the new RPM it refuses to bind to this port, i tried port 8080 and 
that worked fine

Any ideas ?

I haven't tried `stunnel` with elog, but as far as I read from various
sources, stunnel requires you to create an SSL certificate. In attachment,
you'll find a sample case for stunnel and smtp (port 25) + pop3 (port 110).
Hope this helps.

EZ Email Security With Stunnel
by Pat Parsons

This is a little crash course in how to setup email over SSL painlessly using
Stunnel. First you need to have installed a mail transfer agent to handle the
SMTP portion of the mail. Then you need to have installed either an IMAP server
or a POP3 server. Many distributions come with Stunnel, if yours does not you
can get it from http://www.stunnel.org. Stunnel requires that you have OpenSSL
or SSLeay installed first. This should come with your distribution. Generally
if you have SSH installed you also have a SSL library.

Get and install Stunnel. I am not going into detail on that because if you are
at this point you probably already know how to do so. Make a SSL certificate
for use with Stunnel. OpenSSL provides a makefile to do just that. In my
distribution it is located in /usr/share/ssl/certs . CD to that directory and
type make stunnel.pem to create the certificate that is named stunnel.pem. Now
you need to a few lines to your rc.local file to start Stunnel at bootup
(assuming you ever reboot that is) these lines are:

  /usr/sbin/stunnel -d 995 -r 110
  /usr/sbin/stunnel -d 465 -r 25

This will start stunnel listening on port 995 for POP3 and 465 for SMTP. Now
all you need to do is edit the options for your mail client and there you go.
No need to worry about cleartext email passwords. If you are too impatient to
wait for the next reboot you can type the commands given previously to start
Stunnel right away. There may be some problems with certificate validation for
some email clients. Make sure when asked by the makefile you get the server
name correct. If your email client will not let you add certificates you may
need to change or obtain a certificate from a certification authority. If you
cannot get the certificate vaidation worked out there is no way to ensure that
you are connecting to the correct machine. Have a nice day.

  282   Mon Apr 14 15:07:02 2003 Entry nickc1nick@nick.comInfo  Question
Is there a way to hide logbooks from all views.

Basically i want to use the move function to move old entries to another 
logbook but only want administrators to be able to see the logbooks in the 
view, everyone will just see the primary ones.

At the min im having to put Archive logbook, everyone is complaining at me 
that there is too many to choose from :)

Any suggestions ?

I would like to dump mylog files into comma/tab seperated files. Is there 
an easy way to do it?

I tried to run elconv, but had no success. Always returns an error. 

Thanks,

Hi!

Same for me.

Here is the error:

Cannot find any ??????.log file in this directory.

THANX,

`elconv' is just a simple tool to convert pre 2.0 log files to the current
format. (Well, after all these confusions, dropping it from the future
releases won't be surprising -at least for me- ;) You might try some
well-known text-processing tools ie. preferably awk or perl to make the
required conversions. But I think using comma or tab as the delimiter is not
suitable due to the content of logs. If all you want is importing them to
excel/word, you should play with the delimiter options of mentioned programs
before trying a solution.
