something like this)?
I've to user server-unique SessionIDs...

If you want server-unique session ids, use session_name() before
session_start()..?

session.entropy_file seems to be used only with /dev/urandom,
and seems to be used to _increase_ the differences betweeen
session ids.

i cannot use session_name, because i've to regenarete a session id by
permanent login.
i'm using session_regenerate_id, and session_name doesen't works with it (?)

It should work fine. You must change the session name (either using
the session_name() function or by changing session.name in php.ini)
before you call session_start().

Note that the session name and the session ID are two different things.
