Note Submitter: jwohlers at waubonsee dot edu ---- sandaimespaceman, using the IP address of the client is a really bad idea. There are network configurations where the clients ip address will change countless times throughout the session. In those cases your users will have to re-authenticate constantly, and get VERY upset with you. I deal with this issue on a regular basis, please don't do it. Example: My college uses a pooled collection of IP addresses when connecting to the outside world. The IP addresses are set to rotate at a rate of ~30 seconds. This means that to your server I will always appear to come from a different REMOTE_ADDRESS and break your cookie every time. Again, and I cannot stress this enough to developers, NEVER rely on the IP address remaining static in a given session.
