icon4.gif   reverse sort and threaded mode does not display first entry, posted by Heiko Scheit on Thu Jul 4 17:05:03 2002 
When the option 'Reverse sort = 1' is used then the first entry
is not displayed (ID=1) when threaded mode is requested.

Probably you can see the problem using this link and switching 
on reverse sort.

icon4.gif   exit status of elog, posted by Heiko Scheit on Thu Jul 4 17:09:09 2002 
The exit status of elog is always 1.  It should be zero for
a successful submission.

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?

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 :-(
