the ticket frequency seems to be increasing. i put in regular linux cron to restart the httpd service in the morning, as well as, delete the sessions under that application. but i have been figuring out that if only occurs upon login, assuming the user is registered. and it seems to have something to do with clearing the cookies on the browser side. but not always. there is just a better chance of not getting the ticket if the cookies are clear and the sessions are erased.
but still no real handle on any particular area of code within my app. so i am still at a loss; still wondering, almost desperate. lucas --
