Hi everybody,

from the manual:

================================================
Finally, the mandatory configuration file is read, if you specified one when
 you compiled the program. This is a configuration file which cannot be overridden
 by the user: if it is not found, analog exits immediately. This allows a
 system administrator to prevent users analysing certain files or producing
 certain reports, for example...
================================================

Ok... let's say we're analysing a site -- except cron jobs and cmd -- through
 the CGI interface, have a config file that tells Analog to read 213 log files,
 let's say going back 2 years... the one (and only?) obvious problem is with
 users trying to (sometimes without knowing about it) analyse all the log
 files... which we do not want. Of course we only want them to be able to
 analyse, let's say last month data...

But -- if we put something like

FROM -00-00-30
TO   -00-00-01  

in the mandatory config file, it will not work for us if a user wants to analyse
 let's say last 2 days (his 2 day requirement would get overwritten by 30
 days from the mandatory config  file)... any ideas?

I know there would be ways around it... but I can't think of a good one...

Any ideas, amigos?

Josef D.
