The system that I use places a md5 encoded copy of the encrypted password
into the cookie as the code.  The result is that no storage file is needed
and the same user id logged in from different workstations (even different
sites) don't interfere with the other already logged in cookies.

I use a number of workstations (4) in a day depending on where I am and what
time of day it is.

Not really a complaint... Planned on updating the documentation after I got
it to work along with examples of usage in the login/logoff pages.  Just
wanted to make sure the examples really work first.

Still getting used to the forms... the tidbit that dan posted is helpful.
Wasn't sure how to get it to log out after I pressed Logout in action.logoff

Also, I originally, I thought that the file site.persist.login was used to
hold "the" code used as the salt for all cookies... kind of how the crypt
setting is used in the site.config file.... turned out it holds the
username:code combination to validate the cookies instead.
