These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

Hi Susan,

the documentation states that you should start elogd with the -v option from the command line and look at the output. Did you try this?

You might post the output here to get further help.

Cheers

Hi Susan,

according to the documentation you need to add "Hosts deny = All" in addition to the "Hosts allow" command.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).

Have you set

Resolve host names = 1

in the config file? If it still does not work, run "elogd -v" from the terminal and watch the output. You should see someting like:

Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches "ALL" in "Hosts deny". Access denied.
Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches ".lbl.gov" in "Hosts allow". Access granted.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ?

Thanks for your help !

Re: rename menu commands

Hi,

First up, the Copy command is supposed to be used to copy to another log book, as it says in the documentation, not a duplicate entry in the same logbook. I've tried doing a copy into the same logbook, it appears to work (although I don't know about every circumstance, I just did a quick and dirty test). Use at your own risk! Don't use Preserve ID feature is one caution I would raise immediately.

As for renaming the command, I'd suggest defining a new language, "lenglish" or whatever, make all the files necessary as per any normal language; in the eloglang.lenglish file would be

New = New

Edit = Modify

---

Copy to = Duplicate

and so on. I chose to call my eloglang "lenglish" as duplicate, modify etc as used in the example here derive from Latin, but other commands would still be English.

When specified in the config file (just like the languages that "come with the box") that should give you the alternative names for the commands.

David.

Re: rename menu commands

Hm, maybe my question is silly, but why don't you just use the "Duplicate" command instead of renaming and misusing "Copy to"??

Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general):

Menu commands = <list>
This option specifies the menu commands displayed on top of a single logbook page. For certain installations, it can be useful to disable some commands. Following commands are possible:

New - Enter new logbook entry
Edit - Edit current logbook entry
Delete - Delete current logbook entry
Reply - Submit a reply to current entry
Duplicate - Duplicate the current entry with the possibility to change some values
[...]
Copy to - Copy entry to other logbook
[...]

The commands are always in English, independent of the language = ... setting, and are automatically translated into the specified language.
If this option is not present, following default is used:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help
