Thanks for replying so quickly.
It looks like you're right and the login page isn't actually logging
users in.
Any idea why that might be? I'm using the auth.login view and a
template that looks like this:
##login.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% if form.errors %}
<p>Your username and password didn't match. Please try again.</p>
{% endif %}
<form method="post" action="{% url django.contrib.auth.views.login
%}">
<table>
<tr>
<td>{{ form.username.label_tag }}</td>
<td>{{ form.username }}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{ form.password.label_tag }}</td>
<td>{{ form.password }}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
</form>
{% endblock %}
##
It all displays correctly. And like I wrote before, the redirect
screen IS displaying the correct user name, but now all the other
pages kick them back to the login page.
Any thoughts on what might be going on here? It's entirely possible
(likely, even) that I just screwed something up in a very basic way.
