[Thanks, Paul, for the answer on $expire/$idle: that answered it for me.] Is it necessary to have an explicit session_start() when you implement Auth? I am using version 1.2.3, and looking at the source code it would seem that @session_start is done when you do a

        $a -> start()

but this is not happening. At least, I am not getting cookies set. I saw an online implementation that used an explicit session_start at the top of the file

I do the same thing in the Yawp (http://phpyawp.com) foundation (but only because Auth is an optional component in Yawp and I need to make sure the session starts no matter what). However, I do some session_set_cookie_params() before calling session_start. Perhaps you need to se the session path or domain for the session cookie. Don't know for sure. Perhaps taking out the @ in your local Auth code will reveal the error; if it does not, perhaps Martin Jansen can shed some light. -- Paul M.
