Hello, In one of my less than flattering moments I was having trouble logging in as a user. Every time I tried to enter e17 from entrance I would be met with an immediate lockup without any way to return to the entrance login or access other terminals. I finally found the problem when I noticed that a superuser could get into the system okay. I had made a mistake in my permissions in the /etc/X11/Sessions/e17 file that would bring me into the windows manager. Anyway, I was wondering if entrance could have a better way of handling such a mistake, ideally some kind of a popup message saying "hey your dumb, you screwed up your permissions" and then bring you back to the main entrance menu. Thanks for your time, and I hope my mistakes will lead to a more idiot proof system even if I'm past saving, John |

Duly noted: Entrance could possibly use a bit of idiot-proofing. --Ibukun John Altobelli wrote: > Hello, > > In one of my less than flattering moments I was having trouble logging > in as a user.
