The read password is queried by the browser with a pop-up window and usually stays active
for the entire browser session. The write and admin passwords are stored in cookies on
the browser side and expire after the browser session. This time can be changed with the
statement <b> <code>Write Password Expiration = x</code></b> or <b><code>Admin Password
Expiration = x</code></b>, where <i>x</i> is the expiration time in hours. It should be
noted that on some systems the daylight savings time is calculated incorrectly, which can
cause time offsets of one hour between a server PC and a client PC. In this case one hour
must be added to the expiration time. If the expiration is set to "0", the passwords are
kept for the current browser session only. When the browser is restarted, the password
must be re-entered.

With this option it is possible for new users to self-register an user account. At the
login page, a link is displayed <b>"Register as a new user"</b> which leads the user to
a configuration page where one can enter the account name, full name and email address. A flag
allows for automatic email notification on new entries on the logbook. These settings can
later be changed with the <b>Config</b> menu command.

Setting this option to <b>0</b> disables self registration. With option <b>1</b>, users
can silently register, while setting it to <b>2</b> causes elogd to send an email
notification to the admin user(s). The option <b>3</b> is used to <i>only</i> send an
email notification to tha admin users(s), which then can validate the account and commit
it by hitting the URL given in the email notification.<p>
