 | Christopher Jones | cjjones@zombieworld.com | Bug report | Windows | 2.3.9 | Elogd.exe Crashes When There are too Many Replies to Replies... | Hi,
We have been using Elog successfully as a shiftlog book for over a month
now, but I recently ran into an annoying bug, I think.
We had a thread that was created and was being replied to over several
days. We first replied to the original thread and then each subsequent
reply was a reply of the previous reply. When the thread reached above 13
of these, the elogd.exe would crash everytime a user attempted to select
the logbook that contained the enormous thread.
I found the only workaround was to manually delete the offending entry
from the log file and to instruct my users to not reply to replies unless
absolutely necessary. I have been able to replicate this error across the
rest of my logbooks as well. If there is any more information you may
need, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Chris Jones |

| Heiko Scheit | h.scheit@mpi-hd.mpg.de | Bug fix | Linux | 2.3.9 | speed is very slow if logbook contains many entries | This is not really a bug, but elogd was getting really slow with our
logbook. It took about 4 1/2 seconds just to get the default page in
threaded mode with 15 entries. The logbook has in total about 2000
entries, though.
After playing around with the compiler option '-gp' and gprof the
problem was found: loc() is called about 18000 times per logbook
access! (Attached you can find the gprof output. There might be
other places where to save time: e.g. getcfg().) The function loc()
calls stat every time to check if the language file was updated and
this takes a long time especially over NFS.
The quick solution for me was to just replace loc() with 'char
*loc(char *orig) {return orig;}'. Therefore, I cannot use the
localization that I used anymore, which is not a big problem at the
moment. After that the time to download the default page was only
0.16 s; almost a factor of 30 faster!
I would suggest to only read the language file (AND also the config
file!) once upon startup. After changing things one has to restart
elogd, which is not so nice, but the long delay is not acceptable.
Another option not to restart elogd is to make elogd respond to a
signal (e.g. kill -HUP) to reread the config and language files. |

| Justin Dieters | enderak@yahoo.com | Comment | Linux | 2.3.9 | Update request for Admin Guide | Heya, I've been using elog for a year or so, with a proxy through Apache,
but recently I've ran into some trouble with my Apache config, where
spammers were using my incorrectly configured proxy to send spam.
I have
some requests for the Administrator's Guide: "Running elogd under Apache".
I'm hoping a few little notes will save others the trouble I've gone
through. Neither of these are any fault of elog's or Apache's, but of my own
ignorance. (I am using elog 2.3.9, and Apache 2.something, if that matters)
1) When doing "ProxyPass ..." when setting up elog under Apache, do NOT put
"ProxyRequests On". This is not needed, if it is enabled and not set up
correctly, it allows spammers to send spam via Apache's proxy. More
information on this is here: http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/03-07-25,
about halfway down the page, under "Spammers use open Apache proxies"
Even though it doesn't mention ProxyRequests in the guide, I think there
should be a little side note mentioning that "ProxyRequests On" is NOT
needed, because I put it in, thinking it was - I am probably not the only one.
2) I have found that mod_proxy_http.c must be loaded in addition to
mod_proxy.c and mod_alias.c for the proxy to work, otherwise I get a 403
error. I think this should be mentioned as well. |

| Joseph Giaime | giaime@phys.lsu.edu | Bug report | Mac OSX | 2.3.9 | Strange timezone in email sent with Postfix | Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting a sensible timezone to be attached to e-mail that
gets sent out when messages are posted. I'm using Postfix, not sendmail
(Mac OS X Server uses this beginning with version 10.3). In this set-up,
the 'sendmail' program is a front-end for Postfix, not the real thing. I
suspect that there are subtle differences that cause this problem.
Instead of something like "Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 14:46:16 -0600", the
"-0600" is replaced by a large number that doesn't correspond with anything
I can figure out. This is the sort of thing that does no real harm, but the
notebook users keep complaining
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. -Joe
Here is what gets mailed when a messages is posted:

Maybe consider using the options -W -Wall when compiling elogd.
There are several warning messages. |

| Charles Duncan | Charles@YorkU.CA | Question | Linux | 2.5.1-1 Debian Linux | Elog Utility | I am trying to use the Elog Utility to import a few thousand entries. So
far I have run into a few problems.
a) Cannot get elog utility to speak to elogd on port 8080. Even though I
use the -p 8080 option with elog. I was able to get it to work when I
moved my server to port 80.
b) I cannot get elog to work with and attributes or logbooks that contain
spaces. Please refer the the following example:
elog -v -h scotland.ccs.yorku.ca -p 80 -a "Station Number"="CC001" -a "Mac
Address"="000874fdc895" -a "Hostname"="cc001.cnscommons.yorku.ca" -a "IP
Address"="10.6.10.52" -a "Manufacturer"="Dell" -a "Model Line"="Optiplex" -
a "Model Number"="GX270" -a "Monitor Manufacturer"="Dell" -a "Monitor
Model"="E151FP" -a "Memory"="512MB" -a "CPU Speed"="2.6GHz" -a "Hard
Drive"="40GB" -a "Service Count"="-" -l WSC2 -u charles xxxxx "DD/MM/YY:
Change Description"
This line executes fine. Except only Hostname, Manufacturer, Memory and
text are populated in the record. All the rest of the fields are blank.
c) the only way I was able to get the transaction to work was by reducing
the size of the log book to a single word (ie WSC2).
Do I have to reduce all my attributes to single words? Or am I missing
something simple to use as a delimiter for entry??
Thanks in advance

As a followup, this occurs not only in the Linux environment, but also under
Windows XP. I get the same results...
