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!
