>There are two things that I could image. Either for whatever reason your sessions never goes into the database, in this case %udat will behave like a normal hash and it works as long as you hit the same child. (You will hit the same child as long as your KeepAliveTimeout isn't over, default 15sec). The other possibility is you don't have set the cookiepath, but your page resides in other directory, which is not under the directory which the cookie send.
