Stefan - Just to say that this is an excellent piece of work well done.

I have just started an internal company Elog server, couple of 
clarifications :

1) is there a way around seeing the password in text when self regestering, 
if I turn this option off when the user changes his password will this 
password still be seen?

2) I have changed all the files to be owned on my RedHat Server by the 
user:group as elog:elog and set and moved the logbooks to another directory 
other than in /usr/local/elog namely /home/elog/logbooks, my concern is is 
I was to upgrade to a newer version would it be a simple install over the 
top? any caveats?

thanks again an absolute dream program.

kind regards Aamir

Stefan and friends,

without breaching your own security, could it be possible to see what the 
elogd.cfg file looks like, also if others would like to post theirs, this 
would be great in building exmaples etc, obviosly an security related or 
mail server entries hashed out.

I am a tad new at this stuff, but eventually would try my hand at getting 
hold of the source code and compiling on AIX and then intergrating into 
shell and error reporting. - OK .. a bit in the furture anyway, if someone 
has already done this please post.

kind regards Aamir

Dear Friends,

Anyone managed to compile elog on AIX 5.2 or 5.1 ... is there a binary 
anywhere?

new to "C"

kind regards Aamir

When compiling elog on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), I get the error below.

Elog will compile without error if I add -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to CFLAGS in Makefile, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea.

$ make

cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall  -I../mxml  -DHAVE_SSL -o elog src/elog.c crypt.o -lssl

Ok, I tried updating my SVN working copy, but I didn't get any updates past elog rev. 2494, mxml rev. 74.  I undid my changes to Makefile, tried to compile, but got the same errors.  

I then pulled down elog and mxml with git, and these are working for me with no errors.  Thanks!
