I don't know that we've had as many people complaining about cookies
recently.  Maybe this has been fixed.

Unfortunately, we just upgraded our campus server to 4.3 (the latest
VMWare image that we hadn't heard problems about) and apparently it is
hexed by the cookie issue (namely, that it wants you to delete Sage
cookies before it actually lets you log in).

This is particularly vexing because I can't get it to let me log in at
all.  I can even get rid of all Sage cookies, restart the browser
(Safari), go to the notebook server, then delete the one cookie I get
there, and STILL it doesn't let me log in.

Sysadmin has found possible workaround of deleting history of the
browser.  This is fine in a lab, but potentially very crippling for
those of us who rely on auto-completion of often-visited sites.
Sysadmin is also very unlikely to try 4.5.2 VMWare image after recent
reports of it not being so hot, though I think those may have been
exaggerated - and anyhow he has a lot to do with the start of classes.

Is it just conceivable that there is something we can configure with
the server and/or some patch we can apply from within the VMWare image
to fix this?  Again, this is 4.3, my apologies.  I am really hesitant
to use this in class when I can't even make it work on my own computer
properly.  I think I now start to understand the arguments about
rather having one version that works rather than constant upgrades...

Thanks,
