Hi,

I really don't understand why elogd cannot run by root but it runs by a user.

I've put elog deamon in /etc/init.d. So it didn't bring up, but it runs if I run it by user interactively.

Thanks,

Dongwook

 

That's a security issue. If elogd runs under a user and gets hacked, the hacker obtains just the user rights, which can be limited. If it runs under root, the hacker will automatically get root rights, which is bad. Technically, there is no reason why elogd cannot be run as root. Just put

Usr = root

Grp = root

into elogd.cfg. 

 Hi,

I wonder how others manage this situation because deamons in /etc/init.d is excercuted by root. So I cannot run in /etc/init.d/elogd when the system starts up.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Dongwook

Stefan,

I am using the Database Like - ELOG format and on the list page, the the last two columns (on the right side) are, "Text" and "Attachments (the paperclip)".

Both of which I have deleted from the input page.

Is there anyway to remove them from the List page?

Thanks,      Mike

Do I need these dependencies for elog to work? If I do need them where do I get them for Suse 10.2.

Thank you for any help.

 Starting from 2.7.5, elog needs libssl for any https:// connection. Just install the RPM like you install any other RPM. Now I'm not familar with SUSE, but I found links like that:

http://lenz.homelinux.org/RPMs/

from where you can obtain RPMs. You might have to adjust your YaST installation sources. The package you need should be named opensll-xxx where xxx is some number.

 

 Thank you

I will look into it.

 Hi,

I just tried to install the latest elog on linux Fedora 10.  I also get an error saying that libssl.so.6 is needed.

But I already have libssl.so.7 installed.  Should I also install libssl.so.6 ?

thx,

-rob

The RPM system is a bit picky about which version is required. I believe you have to install libssl.so.7 or compile elog from the sources, which is very simple.

You don't have to import old log book messages, they should be shown automatically (as long as you don't overwrite your configuration file mistakenly). If you had a different logbook name (not "demo") your files will still be there under c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\<logbook name>.  Just add the proper name in elogd.cfg, restart elogd and you will see your old messages.
