Ok, I installed the latest version and this is fixed.  Thanx!

First, you need version 2.3.4 or later, second, you need a "password file = 
xxx" entry in your elogd.cfg to turn on user-level password access. If both 
is true and you still don't succeed, send me your elogd.cfg.

This is really strange. Encryption only works on ASCII characters and does 
not distinguish between letters and digits. When I try to reporoduce that, 
the system distinguishes well between "test1" and "test2". The first gives 
encrypted "dGVzdDE=" and the second gives "dGVzdDI=", note the different "E" 
and "I". So I have no clue right now what is wrong in your installation. If 
running under Linux, you can compile elogd after adding "-DHAVE_CRYPT" and "-
lcrypt" to the Makefile to use the standard Linux crypt() function, but I 
would rather like to understand what is wrong in your case.

I noticed that when I put in a password such as <test1> a person can login 
with the password <test2> or any other number at the end.  Is the 
encryption not able to tell the difference between numbers?  The encrypted 
passwords even look the same in the password file.  Is this a bug?

When I use the <Login user => option to specify what users I want to be 
able to login into the different logbooks it does not seem to work.  Is 
there something else you are supposed to do to restrict what logbooks users 
can log into?

I added the option "Summary page title = xxx" in a similar way than the "Page 
title". The new version is at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c?rev=1.64

It will be included in the release 2.3.5 of elog.

I have those attributes already working for example

[global]
Page title = Customer Relational Management System < this sets the selection 
page ok

[Config DB]
Page Title = ABC123 - $Customer Name < this sets the individual log book 
entries title

I need something to set the title of the page when on the summary page for 
the logbook, as it just says ELOG - Config DB (this isnt set anywhere)

I changed the default title recently to "ELOG - <logbook>" where <logbook> 
is the name of the current logbook. For the individual messages, the 
title "ELOG" can be changed with the elogd.cfg option "Page title". This 
title can even contain attributes from the logook entry like:

Page title = ELOG - $subject

where $subject gets replaced by the subject of the logbook entry.
