Thanks.

Where did you see the password? Was it on this logbook or on your own? Did 
you use "self register" equal 3 or 2? The password should never be visible 
in plain text, so after you submit it (during registration or login), the 
page gets immediately redirected since the password is contained in the 
URL. After the redirection, it is not visible any more. Now it might happen 
that the redirection takes a few seconds, depending on the network speed, 
then you see it for this few seconds. But in an intranet installation, this 
should not happen.

Yes, if you upgrade, the new version will again to into /usr/local/elog 
unless you tell "rpm" to relocate the package. Unfortunately I'm not a 
specialist with "rpm", but you might figure it out yourself (just try to 
reinstall the same version and look where the files go wiht "rpm -ql elog").

Ok, good idea. I made a new logbook "Config Examples" on this server, where 
everybody can add new configuration examples. I added a few covering the 
logbooks on this server as a starting point. Just click on "Config Examples" 
at the top of this page!

Stefan and friends,

without breaching your own security, could it be possible to see what the 
elogd.cfg file looks like, also if others would like to post theirs, this 
would be great in building exmaples etc, obviosly an security related or 
mail server entries hashed out.

I am a tad new at this stuff, but eventually would try my hand at getting 
hold of the source code and compiling on AIX and then intergrating into 
shell and error reporting. - OK .. a bit in the furture anyway, if someone 
has already done this please post.

kind regards Aamir

Stefan - Just to say that this is an excellent piece of work well done.

I have just started an internal company Elog server, couple of 
clarifications :

1) is there a way around seeing the password in text when self regestering, 
if I turn this option off when the user changes his password will this 
password still be seen?

2) I have changed all the files to be owned on my RedHat Server by the 
user:group as elog:elog and set and moved the logbooks to another directory 
other than in /usr/local/elog namely /home/elog/logbooks, my concern is is 
I was to upgrade to a newer version would it be a simple install over the 
top? any caveats?

thanks again an absolute dream program.

kind regards Aamir

This problem has been fixed as well (elog:233).

Yes, this was in and certainly is not correct. So I fixed it, the new code 
can be obtained vom CVS (see elog:233).

To obtain the newest source code of ELOG, go to the CVS repository at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src

It contains usually the newest bug fixes, which will show up in the next 
realease. On the other hand it can also contain some new features, which 
are not yet fully tested, so care should be taken when using it. The 
revision comments usually explain what is new in that revision.

Hi,
We prepared a customized theme to use with ELOG. It's called for example 
my_theme and is situated in the THEMES directory (together with the DEFAULT 
theme).

I defined the my_theme the global theme for ELOG:

[global]
Theme = my_theme

And it works fine for all the logbook in ELOG. However. The login screen 
and the main menu screen (the one with list of logbooks and # of entries) 
still takes the DEFAULT theme. 

If I change the my_theme name to default then everything works correctly 
(logon + main menu + all logbooks have the desired look).

Is the DEFAULT theme somehow hardcoded for the login screen and the main 
menu ?

Thanx for your answer
