Topic: Strange errors with logging into various websites

[Mike Stoddart]

I'm not sure this is specifically related to my E-Smith server, but I'm starting to get suspicious.

Let me explain; I am running the Geeklog scripts on my site (http://www.stodge.net). For the past week or so, I'm not able to log to the scripts as administrator or a normal user from my Pc behind my ESmith network. I've tested this from Windows and Linux.

Now the strange thing is, that I can't log into my accounts on Slashdot.org or drop.org or geeklog.org either!

Why am I suspecting my E-Smith server? Well I can log into the Geeklog scripts on my site from my Win NT PC at work.

I'm confused. I've tried everything I know - I haven't reconfigured anything on my server; I have added some more ibays since then, but nothing else.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

cheers
Mike

I've tried everything I can think of. I've rebooted both machines, I've forced squid to recreate its cache but I still can't login. So no ideas?

Thanks

I think it might be a problem with cookies; when I try to log in, the user appears to be authenticated ok and the script sets the cookies, but when I get redirected the index page, the cookies don't exist anymore.

Does anyone know of any problems with either cookies and E-Smith, or cookies and squid? Im checking out the squid site, but Ive found nothing useful so far.

Thanks
