Hey Erik,

Can't help you, but you might wanna XP this to .admin.general... (where it'll
more likely catch Todd's attn)
In fact, don't bother, I did it for you :-)

P.S. Todd - if we have .admin.nntp... should there be a .admin.web-interface?
Or... something?

I have this ongoing problem with Lugnet's web interface. Despite being signed

to Lugnet, at work (uhoh) I always have to enter my name and stuff before each
post. At home, occasionally I get to go through the Setup procedure again
before
posting. I don't sign out and I am set to "never sign out." What's going on?
Does everybody else experience this?

More details: I use Netscape 4.0.8 for Macintosh in both places, with full
cookie privileges. At work, I'm posting from my Powerbook where I use a "work"
user profile for Netscape. That's for the firewall there. Maybe the firewall
eats part of the cookie? I dunno. At work I have to enter my name every time,
but I stay signed in.

I bring the Powerbook home and on the "home" Netscape user profile I am still
signed in and I can post just fine. At home I'm behind a NAT router, which
seems
benign. The desktop computer at home runs the same Netscape version, and I use
just one Netscape profile most of the time, occasionally switching user
profile
without obvious deleterious effects. Well darn it all, tonight I hadn't
switched
any profiles or used multiple machines at all, and I got the Setup procedure
before posting. It makes me wonder, did the Terms of Use change and Todd reset
everybody? Is that it?
