Re: Maxing out sessions?

/tmp is not it's own partition... but I have 6Gig free on the / drive. Right now I have 401 sessions and am pushing 2Gig on the /tmp directory. At the moment I am not having any session issues. Ok.. if it isn't a /tmp issue (and maybe it isn't)... whatelse should I look at? It's definately SOMETHING with sessions.. because you can be logged into an application.. and all of a sudden you'll get kicked out back to the "login" screen (which is where i have it programmed to go if you try to go to a page and aren't logged in)... you can try to log in and it will just keep returning you to the login page... if I go and wipe /tmp all is fine... What do you make of this?
