hi, sorry i was a bit in a hurry. it's been a while since i looked into this but i think you can add your users x-magic-cookie to your authorized cookies, your cookie to his cookies or a new cookie to his cookies and your authorized cookies (which you can delete later so he doesn't have access to your session anymore). from the top of my head i'm not sure which way round it works (maybe both?) which is why i only advised reading of the manpage ;) hope this helps, jdb
