Hi,

I'm using .23 until .3 is released. Is there a standard way of handing
logged in users without sessions?

At the moment, I'm using cookies. Upon a successful login, two cookies
are sent to the user. One is basically a boolean identifying the user
as logged in. The other is a random md5 hash. This hash is also stored
in the user's record in the database.

 Each time a sensitive piece of user data is displayed (or db data is
updated) this cookie's value is compared the the hash in the user's db
record to authenticate the user.

Is this a "secure" and proficient workaround? Am I overlooking
anything?

Thanks,
Nick
