[rt-users] web interface kicks me out repeatedly

[Michael A Vezza]

hmmm.  we have the same problem. happened a few months ago, but
everyone just uses the command line interface.  password length
doesn't seem to be the problem.

the first time you log in, you get a cookie set:

  www.mydomain.org  FALSE   /rt/webrt.cgi   FALSE   986986817       RT_USERNAME     user

any action after that sets a cookie with null USERNAME and PASSWORD
fields (deleting the cookie) and WebRT bounces you out and says you
are not logged in.

anyway, i havn't bothered to take it any farther because, as i said,
everyone uses the command line interface.

   And your password should be 10 characters min.
   Don't know if this will affect it.
   Are you running a 'nix version of Netscape? One or two people in my office had 
   that problem too, but it cleared up again... could be what Jesse mentioned.
