For sure I thought along the lines you described.  I can come back the 
next day after closing the browser and still get let in without a log in 
prompt.  I also know the only true way to logout of a site is to close 
the browse, even if the site has a logout button.

The odd thing is I can change the auth name file from htpasswd to 
mapsecrets, and back to htpasswd, reboot Apache, enter freeside and get 
the one prompt again to login.  Just rebooting Apache with changes does 
nothing.

Thanks for your reply!  I will go through the mailing list archives 
again.  Maybe something I miss.
