As of feb 20th 2005. Entrance is built dissalowing remote connections nomatter what. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge entrance 2.entranced 3.xhost +remotehost 4. (on remotehost) export DISPLAY=otherhost:0.0 5. (on remotehost) xeyes Actual Results: xeyes quits with an error that it cannot start. Expected Results: xeyes starts on this host. If this is because bug 31867 then I would say let it depend somehow on ipv6. Or have a nother option that makes this changeable after emerging. Granted that a lot of systems do not need remote access. Some do however.
remove the patch locally either way, no real clean solution exists for this problem ... we're waiting on a refactor from upstream
Atleast, it is now documented here. As long as I don't forget deleting the patch after every update. Are they looking at this problem upstream however? I would hope so.
yes, search the mailing lists / bugzilla
