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.
