Good idea, I added a "ELOG Version" as well.

I suggest to add an attributes  like  OS

MOptions OS = linux, windows2000, windowsXP¨, windows2003

to indicate on which version we are speaking

There was a recent bug which made "Edit elog.cfg" stop working if the 
language is not English. This has been fixed and the update is in CVS. If 
you use English, this might be another problem. Can you send me your 
complete elogd.cfg so I can try to reproduce your problem?

"Not always" is hard to understand. Either it works or it does not for a 
certain configuration. What you can do is start elogd with the "-v" flag, 
which outputs all communication to the console window. Among this 
information, you have the communication with the SMTP server when sending an 
email. Maybe you see some problem there which only sometimes occurs (like 
wrong email addresses or so...)

You probably mixed up deny of a command to a certain user and deny of hosts 
based on their IP. This has nothing to do with each other except the 
word "deny". Please read the documentation about how to set up IP 
based "hosts deny". This works only for certain IPs, but not for certain 
users. 

If you want guests not to be able to enter messages, but allow this to 
registered users, you should set up a password file, and a guest menu. 
Please refer to the elogd.cfg file for this forum which is done in this way. 
Have a look at elog:Config%20Examples/4 .

I was wondering if there is a way to have a more detailed log of users' 
activities?
Current Logfile = <file> gives a good base for information about 
logins/access to 'protected' logbooks. 

What we would like to have is information about when a user reads an ELOG 
entry (to be able to determine the reaction/response time). 

For instance the LOG could look sg like this: 
%%user %%datetime %%logbook %%record read/edit/new/delete

Got not lost, but I was on two consecutive conferences and just returned.

Not at the moment. But I will put it on the wishlist.

Used to deny a certain command to a list of users. This can be used to 
deny a guest user to enter new messages or modify a message. 


Hosts allow = <list> 
Hosts deny = <list> 

could you deny guest user like this 

guest is not loggeg ?
hubert is logged

Hosts deny = guest,hubert
does anybody has experience with deny based on IP adresse ?
