in Unix:
i fixed the problem by defining a password file entry like 'user1::::'. 
then i defined 'admin user = user1' in elogd.cfg.
then i connected with login name 'user1' and created new user (as admin).

in Windows2000:
if i do this steps and i save the new user, it fails. the server service 
crash down.

  107   Thu Aug 15 13:00:20 2002 Question Marcel Pilsmarcel_pils@web.de   problems by defining the password file
i work on Windows2000

part of my elog.cfg:

    Passwort file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
    Self register = 1
    Guest user commands = config, admin, logout

file system:

    - i created an emty file with name passwd.txt

problem:

    - if i use the link "Register as new user" on login, it does not work.
    - if i login as guest user and choose the menu config, it only 
    display  the attributes Login_name, Full_name and Email.    
    So i kann not create user.

what should i do ?
what are my mistakes ?

Can you attache as sample password file ?

quite a few things i wanted to do were in that config :)

the only feature i can think of now is a link on the subject in threaded display mode. 

i really crank up the resolution on my monitor, so i tend to miss clicking on the icon (or message number...

Hi, 

changed the VALUE_SIZE from 256 to 512. That seems to fix the problem.

Regards,

That's strange. This error should only occur if someone uses a user name or 
password with more than 256 characters, which I hope is not the case. Have 
you tried changing your password etc. in this forum? It also runs 2.1.0 on 
Linux.

I made a version under 

http://midas/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elogd.c?rev=2.67&content-
type=text/plain

which has improved error output for this problem, maybe this helps.
