[Moin-user] Problem with being logged out in some cases....

[David Cramer (Tech Pubs)]

Here's a little more information. If you log into
sledge.devlab.motive.com, you get a cookie like Exhibit 1 and everything
works unless and until you get the cookie in Exhibit 2. Is there a
reason that the cookie in Exhibit 2 should cause moinmoin not to use the
cookie in Exhibit 1? Should I log it as a bug in MoinMoin? 

Exhibit 1
Cookie:dcramer at sledge.devlab.motive.com/devwiki
-------------------------------
MOIN_ID
1234567890.12.34567
sledge.devlab.motive.com/devwiki

Exhibit 2
Cookie:dcramer at motive.com/
-------------------------------
motive.comUserInfodcramer at sql

Thanks,
