Unless you are setting the *session* lifetime, session will use *session*
cookies in memory - not written to the filesystem. When you close your
browser, you destroy the session cookies and your only link to the session
that the auth is tied to is gone.

It sounds to me like you want to manually create a hard cookie for the user
and write a preauth function based on that. See the list archives for more
discussion of preauth().
