icon4.gif   text display of ascii files not a good idea, posted by Heiko Scheit on Mon Aug 23 13:43:58 2004 
I think the text display of ASCII files, which is new in version
2.5.4, is not a good idea.  E.g. I had a large ps file attached
to one entry and it took a long time display this entry (over DSL).

When trying to stop elogd processes with the kill command
elogd exits only after access to the logbook.

Noee. Here it works immediately.

Can you try with a fresh server from the distribution, with the example

Thanks, I could reproduce the problem. It had to do that a SIGHUP aborts the select()

At some point, in the last week or so, I upgraded the debian-unstable
version (r1459-1) of elog.  Now, PostScript files (as attachments) are
displayed (shown in ascii text, instead of just showing the link).

I have a question about ELOG. Let's say after the user finishes his shift 
and passess on to the next user on duty. A staff member would want to look 
through the entries and vet them. The staff could lock the entries to

One possibility is to use the option "Restrict edit time = <hours>". This way
an entry can only be edited let's say 8 hours after it has been created.
