Also, you have to remember that people can submit any form data they like, not just what you've put on the form you hope they'll use. The only way to stop them would be to have a mandatory configuration file that overrides their choices. But then you would have to compile analog yourself, and you would need a new analog executable for each client. -- Stephen Turner[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/ Statistical Laboratory, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1SB, England "Due to the conflict in Kosovo, we will not be showing the movie Wag the Dog.

Re: [analog-help] Limit directories with anlgform.pl
I set up a form for each subdirectory which parses the log file pulling information for that directory only in dacota.cfg DIRINCLUDE /dacotah REQEXCLUDE /*.* REQINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/ PAGEINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/ FILEINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/ the form dacotah.html is then password protected for that clients eyes only.. and wallah individualized data results... couldn't this be done for directories under say dacotah as well?...

You can't really stop people processing anything that they can read at all. In any case, it doesn't reduce the load on the server all that much, in terms of CPU time. The whole logfile still has to be read and parsed.

[analog-help] Limit directories with anlgform.pl
Hi - We have a web layout that has a branch point close to the root, with different directories off those branches. Here are some examples: /Departments/French /Departments/German_Studies /Departments/Egyptology ... /Students/Chinese_Students_Association /Students/Brown_Men_Rugby et cetera. What I'd like to be able to do is to limit what people can run statistics for using anlgform.pl. You could run statistics for /Departments/French* or /Students/Brown_Men_Rugby*, but NOT /Departments/* or /Students/* (Basically, I'd like to throttle things down a bit, so it's harder to overload the server.) Unfortunately, the number/names of sub-branches (French, German_Studies, Brown_Men_Rugby) does not stay constant (branches get added/removed). I'm using analog 3.32. I've looked at the manual, especially the hierarchical reports section, but it looks like analog will let me select going up the tree: "An sub-item is listed in a hierarchical report only if it is above the sub-FLOOR, and it is included with a SUB command, and its immediate parent is listed." If I'm understanding that right, that's the opposite direction of what I want to do. Has anyone done this? (Is it possible?) If not currently possible, can it be added to the wish list? Thanks in advance, Susan p.s. Stephen - "An sub-item"?
