[cz_work] Re: [Mailman-Users] web admin help

[ben strawbridge]

I just did a test, and the result was a bit curious, I set my browser to
ask to set cookies after resetting all cookie settings.  I went to
cnn.com and the cookie box popped up asking me if i wanted it.  When I
went to my site, no cookie alert box came and the authentication
failed.  Now I am really confused on why mailman is not trying to set
the cookie for the admin login.

Thanks in advance!
Ben.
