.SH DESCRIPTION

|
.PP
|
|
The Electronic Logbook
|
|
.B ELOG

|
can be used to store and retrieve messages through a Web interface. Depending
|
|
on the configuration, the
|
|
.B ELOG
|
|
system can host one or more logbooks which are stored in separate sections on
|
|
the server.
|
|
.B elogd
|
|

The full documentation for
|
|
.B ELOG
|
|
is maintained as an html manual. You can reach it from the package document
|
|
directory.
|
|
.SH WARNINGS
|
|
.B elogd
|
|
is run under a seperate user/group
|
|
.I elog
|
|
, by default. You might
|
|
change it via
|
|
.I Usr
|
|
and
|
|
.I Grp
|
|
options in configuration file. The configuration and stylesheet files should
|
|
be readable by that user.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Passwords are transferred over the network in plain text and therefore, are not
|
|
secure. Although the
|
|
.B elogd
|
|
program does not support secure connections over SSL directly, an SSL
|
|
encryption wrapper like
|
|
.I stunnel
|
|
might be used for this purpose.
