This is exactly why register globals is turned off by default now.

This is a major security hole, I can simply put in the url:
  http://host/main.php?s_authed=1

And I would be considered authenticated, throughout the site.

Please turn register_globals off and use the $_SESSION variable to
access your session vars.
