8-27-2002 Changes: Fixed a bug in the session db cleaning. Now used as the default mechanism to clean all invalid sessions. Moved separate javascript code for MD5 encryption into the perl script, to make the installation easier. since the MD5 algorithm is public, it doesn't matter that the user can see it, right? Cookies now are keyed to the IP address: a user can have a different IP address for each session, but once authorized at a certain IP address, the validity of that session cookie is tied to that address. This is just another hurdle which I know can be overcome, since a hacker can just transmit the right IP address; but at least now they would have to know what that IP address is... I think... : )
