Thanks for reporting this. I could reproduce the prolem thanks to the config file you supplied. I fixed the problem and made a new release 2.6.1-3.


It works now fine.

Thanks & Regards

  57   Mon Jul 8 19:42:13 2002 Warning H. Scheith.scheit@mpi-hd.mpg.deBug report  elog submit without user and password
With elog it is possible to submit messages to a password protected
logbook without specifying the -u option.  I.e. NO PASSWORD is
necessary to submit a message.  I assume it is related to the problem
of expiring password-cookies while entering the message using a web
browser.

I guess it cannot and doesn't have to be 100% save.  Maybe if the web
interface is used for a new message a long random number (let's call
it newID) can be included, which elog remembers for some time (say 1
day).  Now elogd accepts a new message only if 

  1) the cookies is there and valid or
  2) if the cookies are NOT THERE, but the newID matches one of the
       stored ones.     

The new message is rejected if the cookies are there, but are wrong.

Maybe the encoded password should be specified.  I use wget to
retrieve some entries automatically over a cron job and with wget
you specify a cookie-file with --cookie-file (or something like
this).  The content of this file corresponds to the content of the
netscape cookie file.

Can one delete or edit messages with elog?  If yes then this should not be
possible.

I can not reproduce this with the elogdemo logbook, however.

Hello,

what are the pre-requisites to automatically fill the Author and Author Email fields. The documented method:

Subst Author = $long_name from $remote_host

Subst Email = $user_email

in the elogd.cfg file does not seem to work.

(I see it works here on this platform)
