It is running on a linux box, we have started in it in a telnet session, and no errors appear, as I am new to e-log is there an error log anywhere.

 Have fixed this by removing the last added user from the Passwd file.

 Have fixed this by removing the last added user from the Passwd file.

I'm working on setting up an elog as lab-journal in our group with the following set-up:

• The elog is running on a server, with no back-end access for the users.
• Multiple people will use it, all loging in with the same user-name and password.
• The entries submitted to the log-book can only be edited for 24hours, as defined by the "Restrict edit time= 24" setting in the configuration file.

Now I encountered the following problem in my set-up: Entries that do not have attachments can be changed after these 24hours have passed, by the following set-up: If a user (in the current case me during testing) sets up a local elog on his computer and activates the synchronisation with the elog on the server, he can switch off the time-restriction for editing on his local elog, and if he synchronises the two log-books, the changed entry from the local elog will overwrite the original one from the server-elog.

Obviously this is not very desirable. Therefore I wanted to ask, whether anyone sees a possibility to prevent the editing of entries, which are older than the restricted edit time. A specific function or a change in the synchronisation behaviour would of course be the completest solution, but in my case the problem would also be solved if I could just prohibit the synchronisation. It is not needed, so no harm will be done if it is not possible.

Hi Stefan

we are running elog

Hi,
I just installed v.2.6.1 coming from the previous 2.6.0 (on Win2000)
When I access the "configuration" function from a logbook, in the cfg page I only see two buttons in the header
(save or cancel); in the previous version I saw more buttons there ("global config", "create new logbook" and so
on), so here I'm unable to access global configuration or logbook management (except for current logbook options).
I am logged in as admin (actually I have a single-user configuration, thus no particular users defined).
I hope this report may be helpful, and not just being caused by a misunderstanding on my side ;)
Thanks
GiorgioCC

Yes, I tried that. Maybe I'll have some other try on other PCs and investigate further, I'll surely let you know. Thanks
for the prompt response and compliments for your very good work! ELog is really a great piece of software.

Here I am again... I built and installed v2.6.1 also on a different system, this time on linux; i tried both with the
existing cfg file and with the new cfg.
Choosing "configuration", I still only see the current logbook configuration file section with "Save" and "cancel"
buttons, no access to global config whatsoever; the same as I saw on windows version. I tried version 2.6.1-1622.
