 server again. Then I go to the webpage and my user is still authenticated.
 I try to do the same thing with XSP on Linux and when I start the server
 for the second time the webpage asks me to reauthenticate.
 This does not really cause us any problems, I just noticed that it behaved
 a bit different than ms.net, almost as if the server instance is embedded
 into the cookie somehow.

+This is a known problem. When you don't use your own key for
+validation/encryption of form data, new keys are created every time
+xsp/mod-mono-server is started.
+
+MS seems to keep the autogenerated keys around and reuse them.
+
+I'll save the autogenerated keys and reuse them.
+
+In the meantime, use validationKey/encryptionKey with your own
+predefined keys (it's the <form> element in web.config).
