Well, some people want that! |

Dimitrios Tsirigkas wrote: | 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? |
Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen
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. |

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,

The util library was added recently because of the new shell substitution functionaly, which requires the forkpty() function call. If you know in which library the forkpty is available on solaris, the makefile could be adjusted accordingly. If the forkpty is not available at all, we have to disable the shell substitution under solaris via conditional compilation. |

-- Ah, just looked at the docs, I see what that buys us. Surely there is a similar function available that is cross platform?

See the config manual and look for $shell |

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

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version. |

T. Ribbrock wrote: | I just ran into the following problem (and was able to reproduce it in the "demo" logbook on this site):

I can't see any double indention there...
But seriously 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. |
