Your supposition is incorrect. When you log out, your session id is cycled, so that you get a new session id, and hence new session. Django will not remove the old session until it's expiry date is reached _and_ you run the admin command cleanup. All of this is documented: Logout flushes the session: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.logout Flushing session cycles the session key: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/http/sessions/#django.contrib.sessions.backends.base.SessionBase.flush Django doesn't auto clean session table http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/http/sessions/#clearing-the-session-table Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
