What you can do is put most of the configuration options into the [global] section,
such as

[global]
Attributes = ...
Password file = ...
...
Admin user = teacher

[John]
Login user = john
[Joe]
Login user = joe
[Fred]
Login user = fred

In this case, each logbook only requires two lines, while all the other options are
inherited from the [global] section. The "login user" restricts logins only to a
single student, which the teachis has admin rights for all logbooks. The teacher can
reply to individual students by writing into their "personal" logbook, or he can set
up a dedicated teacher logbook which everybody can read (Just omit the 'login user').

If an attribute uses MOptions and is also extendable, clicking "Add 
<attribute name>" and entering a value adds the value to the MOptions, but 
does not put the value into the log entry. The log record has that 
attribute blank.
You have to go back into the record and edit it to put the new value in.

I fixed that bug just now, thanks for reporting it. It's available in revision
1.535 under CVS.

Hi all,

I have set my PC in Time Zone GMT+10:00 but I get GMT time in Entry time/Last edit field.

I have installed in another PC. Which has Time Zone GMT+10:00 but I still get GMT time in Entry time/Last edit field.

Please help. Thank you very much.

That's strange. I use the C function localtime() to obtain the local time from Windows. The documentation says that this function checks the Windows control panel  and returns the proper local time. So far, nobody complained so I guess only you have this problem (anybody else to correct me???). The only hint I found is to set the environment variable TZ. So open a DOS box and enter

set TZ=AST+10

then start elogd.exe interactively in that dos box and see if you get something else.

 I did as instructed but time was 20 hours behide

I have entered    set TZ=AST-10   I got the correct time. I think my elog files have been changed by someone. elogd file is running in DOS box now. Please help how to run elog as normal or correct elog files. Which file I should check. Is it elconv.c file? Thank you Stefan.

You have to change your environment variable "TZ" system wide.  You do that by going to 

My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables/New

then you enter TZ as the variable name and AST-10 as the value. You might have to reboot your computer.

 It is working with the correct time stamp now. Thanks you very much Stefan.
