Spot on. Turns out I had configured the wrong php.ini (/usr/local/etc
from FreeBSD ports, /usr/local/lib is standard; yet another reason I
dislike ports...but I digress)

I have never run into an issue with sessions directly related to
lighttpd; but then again I haven't really put it through the gauntlet.
With the correct php.ini settings, things work fine, except after
logging in as an administrator, I'm presented with the "Access Denied"
message from auth.php. I'm at a loss as to why.
