There is a module to have sessions expire after a configurable amount of time (Khalid's).<br><br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/session_expire">http://drupal.org/project/session_expire</a><br><br>Could Drupal be seeing similarly located IPs as being the same?<br>
<br>Anyway, the above module only has a version for 5.x, so you would have to upgrade to use it.<br><br>I have used it, it is excellent.<br><br>Victor Kane<br><a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar">http://awebfactory.com.ar</a><br>

I have some additional information from users:<br>
<br>
The problem (being apparently logged as someone else) only appears to<br>
happen between users in the same location. Students are a school some<br>
times appear to be logged in as a different student. But when they go<br>
home, the site functions as it should.<br>
<br>
If the problem is that sessions are not expiring and a new user comes in<br>
to the computer, that would explain why it only happens at school.<br>
<br>
If the problem is that somehow Drupal or PHP is giving out session ids<br>
that have not expired yet, I'm not sure why hat should only happen<br>
between users in the same location. Is the session id based on the IP<br>
address? All users at the school would have the same IP. The school is<br>
even likely to be behind a proxy.<br>
<br>
Does this give anyone any ideas as to what might be the root problem?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
