[rt-users] User credentials change automagically

[Chris Barnes]

Ok, this is bizarre.

Our IT group uses RT for problem tracking.  There are only 4 accounts 
(kept in RT), one for each of the 3 real people and one called "root" 
(for admin functions of RT itself).  We've been using RT 3.8.8 since 
November - the problem I will describe just began happening this week.

2 of us are logged into RT pretty much 24/7
I use Firefox 4.  Never have a problem
User2 uses Opera 11.  RT itself works fine for him.

Neither of us knows the other's password...



Problem:
User2 locks his computer and goes to lunch.  When he gets back from 
lunch, his RT session is somehow magically logged in as ME.
Huh?   How could that happen?

It gets even more bizarre - if he logs out of RT on his computer, the RT 
session on my computer gets logged off  ???????




What's going on here?
