Ahhh... well... that check is a little... er... wrong anyway... so I'll go put in a nicer check that kicks the user out. But the username should be set as validate.php is called before that, and that often sets up the username, along with the i18n.php stuff as that is used to setup the languages. I'll put in a logout there if the username is unset. > One more thing - on my system (SM 1.2.11, phpinfo() at > http://3e.org/test/ ), if I turn register_globals off, as soon as I > hit 'Options', my user.pref file will be replaced with the contents > of default_pref.

Are you running any plugins that aren't happy with register_globals being Off? -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
