The problem there is that your SMPT server does not reply with
250 OK

which my server does. So elogd was waiting 3 seconds for "OK", and then aborted. I change the code (now in SVN revision 1871) to look for "250 " (with one blank at the end). You have to update from SVN, recompile and try again. Anyhow elogd only supports plain login authentication ("AUTH LOGIN"), which not all SMPT servers accept. You have to see.


This is what I get now, Is this the Auth Login problem you were speaking of?

No. It looks like PLAIN LOGIN is supported, but your username/password is wrong. Ask your SMPT system administrator.


I dubbed checked it and ran the -t command to make sure it was the right password. Any thing else I can try?

This is whats in the global
SMTP host = XXX.XX.XX.XX
SMTP username = advservices@XXXXX.XXX
SMTP Password = dDE5ODQ=
Use Email From = advservices@XXXX.XXX

and i still get this

Maybe advservices instead of advservices@XXXXX.XXX ? Just an idea.


No luck, i am going to setup another account on a different box and try again.

I am having another issue. I am using "Preset Author = $long_name" to set the authors name automatically.
But I also don't want the user to change it so i added "Locked Attributes = Author".

The filed is locked but the name shows up on its own line above the "Fields marked with * are required"

As soon as I remove the "Locked Attributes = Author" it shows up correctly in the Author bar.

I fixed that yesterday. Please upgrade to SVN revision 1873.


Thanks - That Fixed It!

I am still having the issue with the email, I have tried to accounts (i can get into through thunderbird and webmail just fine) and a different main server and several ways of the username.
I am kind of at a lost of what to do next.

I'm also running out of ideas. You would have to use a network sniffer (like Ethereal) and compare the network traffic between Thunderbird/ELOG and the SMTP server.


For right now i moved it to the same server that the mail server is. It does not require to be auth as it is a trusted server. I am going to set up another one and keep playing with it. But at least it works now.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the great work. We have been using elog for a year as inventory management.

Now we have a long list of attributes in our logbook, some of those we want to keep in database for record, but we don't want to see them because they are not used very often. I tried the "Show Attributes". my conf is like this:

Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
.
.
.
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description


but it seems only effective when adding the new entry. All the attributes will show in logbook. Is there a way to hide some of the attributes? It would be good to let each user to choose what to see what not to see, create their own view. Can you put it on your to-do list or wishlist?

Thanks

I implemented your request and committed to CVS. Please test if it does what you want, since I did not have much time to test it.


Thanks so much. But the new feature seems not working. If my conf is:

Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

When I choose linux OS, is it supposed to get only the attributes in "Show Attributes"? All the attributes show up. Or you implemented it in other way?
