  674   Thu Aug 19 06:21:38 2004 Question Dave Beckerdbecker@lanl.govQuestionLinux2.5.4write access for elogd
Newly installed elog gives this response when I try to submit a new record:

New entry cannot be written to directory "./logbooks/Linux/" 
Please check that it exists and elogd has write access

I started the daemon.  I've not yet assigned passwords -- just checking
things out.  How can I create this access to my own directory?
  673   Wed Aug 18 11:12:56 2004 Question nait tauhnait@no2bl.no-ip.com Linux Admin rights lost after upgrade 2.5.2 to 2.5.4
The upgrade was done by just replacing elogd from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4 from the rpm.

Somehow elogd 2.5.4 treat all users as normal user. When clicking on
"config". All admin users has no "change elogd.cfg" button. Revert back to
2.5.2 OK.

Is there anything I need to change to upgrade other than replaceing elogd?
Clearing the cookies didn't help.

Thanks,
.nait.
  672   Mon Aug 16 23:49:13 2004 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.5.4-2URL bug in elogd.cfg
Under 2.5.4-2 build1.460, when I edit the demo elogd.cfg the following happens:

- I start with
URL = http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/

- When I go to edit the global section of the config file, the *display* of
the string is changed to:
URL = <a
href="http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/">http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/</a>

- Saving this results in an error in that the rendered url is invalid.

Our current running version is 2.5.4-build1.413 and this behavior is not
evident.  I've looked through the diffs but could not identify the genesis
of this new behavior.

Thanks

Well, I am running 2.95.3 - hmmm.  We have 3.3.2 - perhaps I'll try that and
see if there is a difference.

Hmmm.  I like the little buttons with the pull-downs for selections. 
Unfortunately, I don't get that.  With a config of:

Find Menu commands = New, Find, Select, Config, Change password, Logout, Help, Admin
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Move To, Copy To, Config, Help

my screen only shows the "toggle" and "delete" buttons.  Was there a recent rev
that allowed this to happen (I didn't see a comment on this).  

BTW, on a log entry screen, is the appropriate behavior for the "Move To" option
to show multiple "Move To" links (one for each logbook) or should there also be
pulldowns?  

Thanks

Ouch!
And just to add insult to injury, the same <table> structure doesn't even look the
same between, say, IE6.0 and FireFox 0.9!!

Stefan, keep up the good work!

You get the "Move To" button only after pressing "Select", otherwise it does
not make sense. See attached screendump and config example.
