What you ask for is not possible due to internal reasons. The underlying database
does not support links. But what you can do is to reference a logbook entry with

elog :<loglook>/<id>

So I can reference your question with elog:Forum/1099. Some people make even
complete "summary" pages where they reference a whole set of other logbook entries like

Your question is at elog:Forum/1099
A script for thumbnail generation is at elog:Contributions/12
Demo entries: elog:Linux+Demo/14, elog:Linux+demo/1

Is it possible to create a Link To command (ala Copy To, Move To) that
would allow you to reference an entry in another log book without copying it?
This would be handy as the info would be kept current in both log books.
My thought is that it would create a psuedo entry in the other log
book that pointed back at the originating log book entry (similar to a 
UNIX soft link)

I am trying to unify several existing logbook collections that run on
seperate servers under a single server using groups.  For a top group, under
"[global topgroupname]", I would like to redefine the resource directory or
the logbook directory so that everything except for the .cfg is at it
original location.  However, it seems like "Resource dir" and "Logbook dir"
can not be redefined in the global section for specific groups.  Is it
possible to redefine these directories for each top group, or is it feature
that could be added?

I could probably do what I want with soft-links, but redefining the resource
dir just seems to be right way to do this.  (For one thing, I would like
different favicons for each group.)

This is not implemented right now, since the SMTP server at our institute does
not use authentication, so I could not test it. If you give me access to a
SMTP server with authentication, I could implement it.

If my email host refuses to send the email (476 connections denied), we
still get the message that the email has been sent - and no error message.

How do I or can I send authentication information to the email server?

Fixed in CVS.

Thank you very much!

Indeed it is. Works for all email programs I know. So I added that to elog, new
version is committed to CVS. Let me know if it works for you.
