Russel, Dave, et al.,
I'm using 4.51 on NT.
The cookies cannot be in RAM because when I restart the entire server, it
still sends the same cookies.
I used Find to search all local harddrives for any file containing the name
of my cookie, and the only file that came back was User.dmp. That's a
binary file, but lo and behold, the cookies are in there.
However, that brings me to my next question - what is user.dmp? Isn't that
a user-sensitive file? In other words, am I sure that CF is writing to
that file? or is it possible that some service crashed and the machine
wrote to that file everything that was in RAM.
thanks.

The mark of mediocrity is searching for the precedent.
