Note Submitter: frymaster ---- a note about cookies, subdomains and poorly formed domain names: for a cookie to correctly set itself to be read across multiple subdomains it *must* contain at least one 'dot'. this is important if you are developing an application on a test server on your local network and are accessing it by a domain set in either /etc/hosts or the lmhosts file. if the domain you have chosen is not well-formed, your cross subdomain cookies will not work. example: your /etc/hosts file looks like this 192.168.1.1 testserver site1.testserver site2.testserver you will not be able to create cookies across the subdomains. to rectify this situation, make sure that your hostnames have a 'dot' in them, as so: 192.168.1.1 testserver.foo site1.testserver.foo site2.testserver.foo
