Trailing slash makes no difference.  The URL after initial failed login is
http://foobar.com/rt/SelfService/

I see.  Any ideas of what's going on?

In other news, I'm having trouble with getting 3.8.6 installed on Debian 
Lenny.  Make testdeps keeps giving me this:

SOME DEPENDENCIES WERE MISSING.
FASTCGI missing dependencies:
         CGI >= 3.38 ...MISSING
                 CGI version 3.38 required--this is only version 3.29
make: *** [testdeps] Error 1

I'm very keen to get this installed alongside my existing RT setup rather 
than replacing it and having it go kablooie.
