Ehud,

This seems to already be accounted for in Didier's repositories.  Doing
a locate on entrance_config gives me a "entrance_config.cfg" file, but
no entrance_config.db file.

I seem to be experiencing the exact same problem mentioned on
edevelop.org:

http://edevelop.org/node/1479

It's a permissions problem, and the flickering behavior mentioned there
is exactly what happens with me as well.  Logging in as root still
works.

Please read the bug report, especially the last comment or two and let
me know what you think.  Here's the interesting info:

I have been having this
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2005-10-19 16:43.
I have been having this problem too. Compiled everything from CVS that I
updated on Friday last. Did some googling of this problem and set
runlevel "a" (I'm using Gentoo 2005.1) in inttab to:

 /usr/local/sbin/entranced -nodaemon

This gave me meaningful output. It's failing in auth.c, here:

/* Make sure the file can be written to */
+      if((auth_file = fopen(d->user_authfile, "a+")))
+         fclose(auth_file);
+      else
+      {
+         entranced_debug("entranced_auth_user_add: Unable to write auth file 
%s", 
d->user_authfile);
+         free(d->user_authfile);
+         d->user_authfile = NULL;
+         return FALSE;
+      }

I set the permissions on my home directory to 777, touched
an .Xauthority file with permissions [Sign of Satan] and this check
still failed. Tried everything in any page on these forums and just
general xauth problems. Nada. Zippo. Still get: 

AUDIT: Wed Oct 19 11:28:25 2005: 10256 X: client 2 rejected from local
host

AND entranced never gets permission to start E17 because it can't write
the cookie into the xauth file. Even tried setting entranced to setuid
root, but permission check still failed. Not sure what else to try.

Any ideas? Please email me if you have an answer. 

 Thanks!
