ok - i just continued with 2.0.5, but apparently it still has an UCB'ism
(scandir) that does not work under SYSV:

$ make
gcc -g -o elogd elogd.c -lsocket -lnsl
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to elogd

$ egrep scandir elogd.c
  n = scandir(path, &namelist, NULL, NULL);

icon4.gif   elogd.cfg cannot be saved, posted by Mo on Thu Jul 25 19:17:13 2002 
Hello,
    In the newest version of eLog, I was having trouble saving the 
configurations once I change them through the web interface.  I can change 
them and save them fine if I do it in notepad; but that way you have to 
restart the elogd server.  I think this is a bug on the new version unless 
I am doing something wrong.  Also I was wondering if you were going to add 
any of the wish list items on version 2.0.6 (Conditional attributes seems 
to have the most votes and would be an extremely helpful feature!! :-).  
Thank You.

Mo.
icon5.gif   problem with required attributes, posted by Stefan Siegel on Wed Aug 7 15:43:28 2002 
When an entry is submitted with an required attribute missing one gets to 
the resubmit page. When you the click your browsers back button all 
previously filled attribute field are blank.

Is there a workaround to get the old text back?

used versions:
Elog 2.0.5
Netscape 4.76

Best regards,

Stefan

This problem must be specific to NS 4.76, I don't have it on IE, NS 6, Mozilla
1, Opera etc. Maybe you should upgrade. Anybody else made this observation? 
icon4.gif   Error while trying to change password (elogd 2.1.0), posted by Stefan Siegel on Mon Aug 12 11:01:51 2002 
When logging in with a username and password; then trying to logout or 
change password one gets the following message:

Error: Parameter value too big. Please increase VALUE_SIZE and recompile 
elogd ; Please use your browser's back button to go back 

(up to now I have not yet tried to recompile - may be it works then)

That's strange. This error should only occur if someone uses a user name or 
password with more than 256 characters, which I hope is not the case. Have 
you tried changing your password etc. in this forum? It also runs 2.1.0 on 
Linux.

I made a version under 

http://midas/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elogd.c?rev=2.67&content-
type=text/plain

which has improved error output for this problem, maybe this helps.

Hi, 

changed the VALUE_SIZE from 256 to 512. That seems to fix the problem.

icon4.gif   Problem with konqueror and pulldown menu (in config menu), posted by Stefan Siegel on Fri Aug 16 10:14:19 2002 
Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan
