I've got a (possibly) related problem. I have to re-login every time I visit. It happens on both Safari and Camino on Mac OS X. Notably, It doesn't happen on IE 5. There are no error messages.

I'm of no use here (or anywhere, really), but the big nerds here will probably need to know what browser you're using before they can help.
