DESCRIPTION

       The Electronic Logbook ELOG can be used to store and retrieve messages through a Web interface. Depending
       on the configuration, the ELOG system can host one or more logbooks which are stored in separate sections
       on the server.  elogd is the daemon program serving as a simple web server for the ELOG system.

       The full documentation for ELOG is maintained as an html manual.  You  can  reach  it  from  the  package
       document directory.

WARNINGS

       elogd  is  run under a separate user/group elog , by default. You might change it via Usr and Grp options
       in configuration file. The configuration and stylesheet files should be readable by that user.

       Passwords are transferred over the network in plain text and therefore, are not secure. So  if  passwords
       are used elogd should be started with the SSL option in the configuration file for secure connections.
