It was not implemented, however you call this Wink

I added that in the current SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release.

Have you tried another browser, like Firefox? Do you have the same problems with Firefox? Can you try the following:

Start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, like
elogd -c <your config path> -v -p 8080
and watch the output carefully. When you submit an entry, elogd does redirection. You will see that in the HTTP header you have an entry like
...
Location: https://...
...
This location is taken from the URL statement of your config file. If it's wrong (like if you mixed http:// and https://), your browser will try to load the page from a non-existion location.

Users can access root level directories by using a modified URL. I saw on some security web sites that this was a problem in previous versions. Was it not fixed in 2.6?

To recreate enter http://yourhost.yourdomain.com/../../../../etc/passwd

view your password file in the browser.

If this was previously reported, is there a fix?

Thanks for telling me, I didn't know. I was able to reproduce your problem under certain conditions, and I just released version 2.6.1 to fix it. However it has nothing to do with an old buffer overflow (see elog:941).

I would strongly advise everybody to upgrade as soon as possible.

I tried to reproduce your problem, but could not. In my windows installation it looks fine. You only see the
(save and cancel) buttons only if you go to "Change [global]", otherwise you see the "Change [global]", "Delete
this logbook" etc. buttons. Have you tried with the default elogd.cfg which comes from the distribution?

how ca i set the date for the "show only new entries" button? maybe i missed somethin on the elog.cfg description?
thank's for hint! Smile


That button works as follows: When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. If you want to see the last day/week/month etc. you can define a quick filter on the date instead.

Japp. I switched back to relative links for CSS again, seems to give less trouble. Pleased

Have you tried 2.6.1. I released it just recently, so I don't know when it will be available for Debian. Have you
checked that your "URL = xxx" statement in the config file is correct? I see above "myelog", while the proxy
passes requests to "elog".

Sorry my late reply, but now I have fixed this problem. The update is under SVN and will be contained in the next release.


Thanks for that. I am now using ver V2.6.1-1622. So I guess that doesn't qualify as a "next release". I wonder if there is anything I could do to work around the issue?

Mark

In fact now the dropdown seems to be working but when I 'tick' an entry, it is not being written to the ascii file.


Can you try V2.6.1-1634? I fixed several issues with ticking entries coming from "MOptions" lists.
