Thats a great idea. Well, the linux system is set to think that it is the list server and virtual website hostname (set via the /etc/hosts file) so I pulled up lynx to the localhost virtual domain and it pulled up just fine and I authenticated and went to the page for adding/removing users and the same thing happened. I told lynx to Always accept cookies so I know it's working.
I'm stumped. I don't see where to go with this. I've read many past archives but am finding nothing related to this exact problem. -ted Quoting Jon Carnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Try deleting the old cookie (or delete them all!!!)
