Hi,

I noticed that when users close their browser, without
they have logged off from the system, they effectively
get locked out from the system. They cannot login anymore.

There are two work arounds for the short term I use.
Either reset the status field in the 'people' to 5
(couldn't figure out exact explanation of the status
codes, as a it seems to be used as a binary int) , but
this seems to work.

Other option ofcourse is to reset the user passwd with
the admin module.

I believe there should be a session timeout, and the
user should be reset automatically if a session is
expired. I'm not an experienced php programmer, so I'll
have to leave this to the experts.

Martin.

    This bug is no longer reproducable anymore in 1.2.7 Max.
    1.2.7 has some enhancements for session and execution
    abortion, so I believe this bug has been fixed.
