[SM-USERS] random login breakage

[Benjamin T. C. <in...@so...>]

Greetings,

Sorry if this is passe, but none of the clues in the FAQs, google, etc,
seem to be helping and I'm at a complete loss.  Everything worked fine at
8pm last night, but now login is failing this morning with everyone's
favorite generic error message.  According to the Courier imap logs, login
and logout are happening nearly simultaneously.  What broke?  As far as I
know, absolutely nothing has changed -- not apache, not courier, not php,
not the web browser.  I've manually verified login with imap and it does
not immediately kick me out.  SQM is Internet-exposed, but requires
htpasswd basic auth first.

== Details ==
Browser: Firefox 1.0.2 on WinXP, accepting cookies (verified)
HTTPD: Apache 2.0.52-3.1
OS: Fedora Core 3
PHP: 4.3.10-3.2
IMAP: Courier 3.0.8
Error: You must be logged in to access this page.

Entries in /var/log/maillog from courier (have sub'd us...@do... for
real email address):

Mar 24 07:43:56 fs imapd: LOGIN, user=us...@do...,
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
Mar 24 07:43:56 fs imapd: LOGOUT, user=us...@do...,
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0

Anybody have any thoughts on what could have happened, or, more
importantly, how to fix it?

Thank you,

-ben
