Still no luck. Tried your URL and still works fine for me:

Here is my full elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080

[65 nm]
Attributes = Record date
Type Record date = datetime
Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date
Start page = ?sort=Record date

Anything else I coudl try to reproduce your error?

Ok I found it!

Was tricky. In my development environment (XCode) it worked fine. Only when I compiled elogd under Sierra on the command line, the probelm occured. That's why I did not see it earlier. It has to do with some functions Apple apparently changed ("strlcpy"). These function now have a new "functionality": When two parameters overlap, the function just aborts the process. This is specific to Sierre, so on any other Linux this does not happen. I changed now the soruce code to take care of the modified functions, and now it works fine. Please update to the newest GIT revision of elogd and recompile.

Bug FIXED! Many thanks Stefan and my warmest congratulations for the elog project.

I haven't found any reporterd issues in the forum similar yet, but it appears there is a bug in Elog when logging into logbooks. If I leave Username and Password null and click Submit the daemon crashes. We've been having this problem off and on and after some verbose logging level 3 I was drawn to these recurring lines in the log:

16-Dec-2016 18:20:22 [172.23.113.4] {SER Reports} LOGIN user "" (attempt)
16-Dec-2016 23:15:52 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
16-Dec-2016 23:18:05 [172.23.113.4] {Daily Request Log} LOGIN user "dmorrison" (attempt)

Ups. This bug must have lingered there since the beginning of time. Funny that nobody noticed in the last ten years or so. I have fixed it in the current git revision.

Thanks for the speedy fix.

FYI, our other Elog instances which are running ealrier versions do not exhibit this problem, as I confirmed that entering null ID/password returns "Invalid Username or password" as expected. This may be why it wasn't mentioned by anyone else before. Maybe something got inadvertently dropped in the newer version.

I downloaded the source code from the git repository which contained the new fix that was made for the missing username-crash error. I tried compiling the elogd.c file using a GCC compiler and it gave an error about missing header files. It first gave an error about netdb.h file and when I commented that header file call, it gave further errors for other header files. I do not really understand why it gives an error about that.  

You need the netdb.h header file to compile elog. I see that you compile under Windows. You have to make sure that your compiler installation comes with all header files. The netdb.h file is usually in /usr/include under Unix.
