Hello.

As I've now seen sess_deleted files show up in the php
cache, it seems to be an issue with the sess_deleted php / IE bug.

If I run from cron pretty aggressively

find /var/spool/php -name '*deleted*' -print | xargs -I {} sh -c "ls -lT {} | /var/qmail/bin/mailsubj "sess_deleted" [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I detect the file. Maybe some IE users have the date badly set in their hardware and IE doesn't do
the fall-back aged session deletion.

Can someone help me with the php workaround for squirrelmail to avoid this
and/or
recommend a solid version of php that does a better job of closing out sessions?

As a quick ugly patch, if I just delete the sess_deleted file from cron, the effective user would have to
log in again. Wouldn't they get a valid session token the second time around?

thanks.
John

Hello Jonathan

I really think this has something to do with a problem we had in our
system some months ago. More information here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12715881

We patched our code so it does not use a SID with a value like 'deleted'
or not a 32 long char string and the problem is gone.
