[Mono-list] successful port of MS .net application to linux/apache/mono1.1.4

[simon]

I read that post after some playing around and changed persistent to 
true which solved some issues. 
The other issue I was having was that when i set a cookie other that the 
auth cookie that my auth cookie disappeared!  Im not sure if this is a 
bug or not, it would take some testing to determine.  I deemed at the 
time it was easier to remove the 2nd cookie than try and resolve the issue.
