Just compiled elog-2.0.5 under Solaris 8 and 9  without any warnings/errors
but the elogd binary just core dumps:

# /opt/ELOG/bin/elogd -c /opt/ELOG/elogd.cfg 
Indexing logbook "demo"...
Bus Error (core dumped)

.. tracing elogd shows:

[ lines snipped ]

... any glue ?

Version 2.0.5 of elog has been released today. Among various bugfixes, the 
display speed for threaded lists has been improved significantly. Display 
all messages of this forum and press the reload button to see the 
difference.

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags there like this one:

and you can even scale them like

but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I will probably add a feature like

att:name.gif

which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted to the full picture name after submitting that message.

Yes there is an option

Use Email from = xxxx

see documentation.

I changed that behaviour, so from 2.0.5 on the command line port setting has 
precedence over the configuration file (as it should be).

does elog have a way of inserting pictures into a post other than including
them as an attachment? i can put a picture in using html text, but this
method only works if the picture is stored on the local server. anyone
placing a post from a remote machine cannot include a picture off of their
machine.
any help?
thanks.

This question has been answered in elog:55 .

Is there a way to change the From address used when sending notifications 
from ELOG?   I was hoping there might be another attribute that would go 
along with the smtp host section.

Thanks,
Eric
