Here are some ideas using a file based storage: <http://rmadilo.com/m2/servers/rmadilo/modules/tcl/twt/packages/session/tcl/> It uses file age to determine if the session has expired. There is currently no cleanup of old sessions, you would have to figure out the details of that. Files are protected by condition variables, and sessions share these. As currently configured, there are 16 (one for each hex digit), but it is easy to add more. Underlying the session procs is something I'm calling datastore (which handles all the details of creation of session store, mutex, etc.). It is also the basis of form handler, which stores all data collected via forms until it is ready to be sent to the database (mostly for multi step forms so you don't have to constantly sign and re-verify form data). The form handler isn't finished yet. I also have a module/package called auth which stores basic user data in a file. It uses the same underlying datastore code, but is tied into sessions as well. Oh, in relation to that, sessions have a 'type'. Auth only verifies the user/password, but session has methods to change the session type once auth is done. tom jackson -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
