  1209   Wed Jun 22 18:34:18 2005 Reply Gerfried Kumbartzkikum@physics.rutgers.eduQuestionLinux2.6.0Re: Cloning
Thank you for the suggestions; I commented the read and write passwd in elogd.cfg out and only then I was able to clone
(elogd -v -C http://laptop:8080) the logbook to the new server.
But this is only part of the story. The logbook on the labtop is owned by the
default user elog and default group elog, that is needed to start up the elogd. Only a user "elog" can do the cloning, unless temporarily the owner ship in /usr/local/elog is changed. I made it work by temporarily changing the owner ship on both machines, did the cloning, changed back to owner elog, started elogd and all was running.
I setup synchronizing and here too it works only if the read passwd in elogd.cfg is commented out.
Sync works fine from the RedHat linux laptop (rpm installed), but crashes the elogd on the alpha Linux machine (compiled from src) most of the time. elogd hast to be restarted and the sync had not finished.
So for now I settled to do the synchronize only from the laptop but have to remove the read passwd each time. That is tolerable but not
convenient.

Here I have another question: My Elog is passwd protected, encrypted passwd in elogd.cfg (read and write). When connecting to the elog the window
pops up asking for a user name and the passwd. I donot remember exactly, what was done to set name and passwd. But I find it "strange" that the user name can be anything as long as the passwd is right to access the ELog.
I think I have to learn more about the whole user and passwd protection schema.

Thanks again
Gerfried

the new link "show only new entries" is very useful but seems to still have some problems:

  • I can't find any simple way to return to the "every entries" display .. may be the link has to be switched to a checkbox to be actived or not
  • I found a way (at least)... following the "config" link, doing nothing and coming back restores the view .. this is a feature now, but when a less tricky mechanism will be implemented will become a bug Tongue


another entry for my wishlist:
writeing the above code I noticed that the elcode buttons are lacking of a "
  • " shortcut .. it will be very usefull Smile

    PS:
    Writeing the wish above I noticed that the [ *] is interpreted as an item also otside the LIST tag .. so .. or the LIST tag is optional, or the [ *] should not be interpreted outside of it ... it's another bug ? TongueP

    Maybe you can see what the problem is.

    Thanks for that info. It helped me debugging things. The problem is that the "activation" URL does not contain a logbook if there is a global password file. I have never tried that so of course it crashes Crying

    I tried to fix this and committed the changes to CVS. Can you try with that version?


    Not really, unless you have a fixed 2.5.9 version. Version 2.6 has
    way too many new features, which I don't want at the moment. Or is
    there a config option to get the old behavior?

    I also saw that the format of the email notification has changed. As
    I have scripts (bash, akw, procmail) that depend on this format I

    Maybe you should consider supporting two branches, say 'stable' (2.5.9
    currently) and 'experimental' (2.6 currently)? For 'stable' only
    severe bugs and security issues are fixed and in 'experimental' new
    features are introduced. What do you say?

    For me the risk of upgrading to 2.6 now seems to high, as many people
    depend on the logbook.

    Well, maybe I should allow both options "Find menu text" and "List menu text", change it in the documentation, and in a year from now remove the "Find menu text".


    It's a great way to solve the misunderstanding IMHO, tnx Wink

    By not allowing anonymous access at all. The CVS and XML exports do not contain more information than anonymous users can see on the web page, so there is no reason to prevent it. Anybody could view all pages anonymously (if guest access is allowed) and reconstruct the CVS data easily.


    You are obviously talking about CSV (Comma Separated Values), and not CVS (Cuncurrent Verioning System).. Smile

    Hello Again,

    I'm being asked to do the impossible to list the Assessing Dept Data but not letting people download the whole database. This way they can lookup the info the Town uses to assess their property. The Town’s Selectmen have stopped paying for the company who hosted the database and the software they used. Now I'm asked to do the same service in house with out funds and without resorces. Hence the question.

    Thanks


    Paul
