icon5.gif   email problems, posted by Chris Warner on Tue Feb 7 21:02:22 2006 
When I select to get email notification on new logbook entries I receive this error when entering a new record.

Error sending Email via "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx": Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM: christopher_warner@xxx.gov SIZE=1985" unrecognized or missing

The user that sent the message was a test account that I set up. I entered the email address in the box provided and I am not sure what may be causing the difficulty.

Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

There are two possible reasons:

1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.

2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));

you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);
to see if that makes any difference.

The email address id correct. I am using an Elog Binary. I don't have the source code .

Ok, so I removed the SIZE=xxx parameter, which is not strictly necessary anyhow I believe. So wait for the next release, and you can try.

Do you have an ise when that will be?

Hi all! This is an HTTP POST request submitted from the command line using curl, and providing no authentication information. If I can post as myself using this command, then shouldn't something be done about this? Cheers, Dimitris

Yes indeed. I fixed that in SVN revision 1655. I upgraded this server so you can try again if it works.

icon5.gif   Work on PAM Support?, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Feb 8 18:23:52 2006 
Stefan (or any others):

Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.

Thanks

Steve

Not really. I have two big issues higher on my list: XML database format and multithreaded HTTP server. From having a quick look to PAM, I was not sure how easy this would be to implement. If it's not too difficult, it could move higher in the priority list.

Tell you what, I'm looking at two items related to eLog -- tell me to stop if you want:

  • forkpty() emulation for Solaris
  • PAM support

I'm furthur ahead on the forkpty() - just trying to figure out exactly where to place the code. Once I know it works then I can give it to you to incorporate. Unless you want what I have now and you can work on it.

I've also got quite a bit of reference code for PAM support. A little more daunting.
icon1.gif   menu commands - user list does not match config list, posted by Alan Stone on Thu Feb 9 00:37:29 2006 
I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:

Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help

but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:

CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home
New | Find | Select | CSV Import | Config | Logout | Help

Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?

Thanks, Alan

Yap. There are two menus, one for the listing page which contains only line per entry, and one for the individual entry page. You changed the one for the individual entry page, which you will see when you slick on any entry. To change the listing page manu, do a List Menu commands = ...
icon5.gif   Problem with MOptions , posted by Ulrich Trüssel on Wed Feb 8 07:31:09 2006 
After upgrading to 2.6.1-1 (actually donwgraded in case of this problem to 2.6.0) i was not longer able to selct more than one MOptions selection in my ELOGs. Only the first slected selection was acepted by ELOG. Ex:

MOptions Test = Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg

Selecting: Bb, Cc, Gg

Submitting the entry form, autoreturn to the overview of the even made entry, only Bb was taken.

Any Idea what's happen? Did I miss something changing in 2.6.1-1 or may this be a bug? Thanks for ideas?

Would loke to upgreade to 2.6.1. in case of the new forms for long MOptions, but need to selct more than one!

That should work in 2.6.1-2 now.
icon4.gif   Numbered lists get closed by </ul>, posted by T. Ribbrock on Mon Jan 30 16:26:08 2006 
I just ran into the following problem (and was able to reproduce it in the "demo" logbook on this site):

  • Create a new entry
  • Create a numbered list:
    [LIST=1]
[*] 1st entry
[*] 2nd entry
[/LIST]
  • In the resulting HTML code, the closing statement of that list translates to </ul> instead of </ol>, causing the list to remain open and all following text to be intented by the list indentation. This gets worse when several such lists are used in one document. I'll include an example below.

Numbered list follows:

  1. one
  2. two
  3. three

This text is indented, as the list was not closed properly.

  1. four
  2. five
  3. six

And now we have double indention...

I can't see any double indention there...

But seriously Wink I fixed that problem and updated this elog server already. It's in SVN revison 1653. The code now correctly chooses the proper </ul> or </ol>. What will not work however are nested lists, like an ordered list inside an unordere list, but that's anyhow very uncommon.
icon5.gif   sort after find, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Feb 3 12:38:57 2006 
When I do a find (like Field1 = XXX )
and then try to sort the results I get the entire list again (but sorted) instead of the sorted results.
But when I fabricate a url manually like

http://elog.com/Forum/?mode=summary&npp=990&Field1=XXX&sort=field2

I do get the search-results nicely sorted.

Obviously I would like to be able to sort the result of a find-query.

Is this a bug or a feature request ?

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version.
icon5.gif   elog allows me to create user "blahblah ", posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Fri Feb 3 18:15:47 2006 
Hi,

I noticed that when I register a username that contains whitespaces (eg "boing "), elog allows me to create the user of that name and updates the password file accordingly. It doesn't log me in, but it gives me no error message either. I also found that if I repeat the process it adds yet another entry in the password file, by the same name "boing ". Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?

Cheers,
Dimitris

By the way, it is also possible to create a user that doesn't have a password! Shouldn't that be forbidden?

Ok, fair enough. But maybe there could be an optional flag in the configuration that disables blank passwords... I wouldn't want some imposter to start entering stuff under the username of another user, so it would be nice if I could have some way of forcing them to have a password, even if it's a one-letter password.

Thanks,

Dimitris

Ok, I added an empty password check. If too many people will complain, I will make it a flag.

Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen Tongue

I can add a simple check if the name contains blanks, but then some people will come up with other strange characters (@#$%), and I'm not sure which of those gives problems. If you test this carefully and tell me which characters to make forbidden, I will happyly add a simple check.
