Hi,
I'm in the 1st option : when I try to log using my name (gareste, as 
defined in the database), the page just seem to refresh, no error 
message, no access denied, nothing (url then comes to 
/index.php?nologin=1). However, if I try using my email address, I'm 
redirected to the error message "access denied" (hence option 2).

index.php corrupted : after downloading again the .tar.gz and extracting 
it, running a diff -ur only gives me some minor differences over the css 
parts, which I changed a bit to correspond to our colors,  and over the 
config.php, of course.

Used update.php, didn't change anything :(

Didn't received anything to the admin mail.

HTTP POST solution : unlinkely indeed, since I get the message in case 
of attempt of login with email address..
Any other suggestion?

Thank you very much!
Simon
