I just moved my site into production, and have been checking it out. I saw zenids on the who's online, and did some reading here which has me worried now. However is not an area I am at all comfortable with so still not sure what it proper behaviour and could do with some input.

I have done all my testing with cookies on, so never saw a zenid and did not know what they were.

If I turn cookies off, I get the zenid on any page I visit except for the home page, I see that whenever I roll over a link, it has the zenid appended. Moreover, If I re-enable cookies, I still see the zenid on all pages except the home page age, unless I log in.

Interestingly, and worryingly, if I go to the home page in a no-cookie session, I get logged out. I stay logged in if I have cookies on.

Could someone tell me what's normal and what's not, and possibly give me some guidance.

I run 1.3.6 on a host running Linux 2.6.7-smp, MySQL 4.0.27-standard-log, Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 PHP/4.3.11 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.6.

I am browsing with Firefox 2.0

thanks.
