Are you sure it was name/passwd?  As far as I know, even though the
UserPreferences of Moin 1.0 presented form fields for those, they had no
effect.  The only actions that were useful were to login using your ID
number, or to put in your email address and have your ID mailed to you.

This is what I am (mis)remembering ;-)  This was working with our site
before upgrading.

Its expiration date should be stored by the browser in the same file as
the cookie value.  It may be a human readable date, or it may be a value
indicating a large number of seconds.

Not exactly human readable:
  MOIN_ID
  ###.##.####
  xxx.(our private server).com/process/moin.cgi
  1536
  3569213440
  30344735
  889837424

But explorer reports this as having an expiration of 12/31/2013 4:00pm
(Local time is -8).
