Hi,

I cannot log in to my Rails application using Windows and Safari or IE6.  
Windows + Firefox works, and Safari or Firefox on Osx works also.

What in hell is going wrong?

I recently switched my app from restful\_auth to authlogic, could that be  
the reason? I don’t remember having these authenticity errors before.

Regards,

Can you verify that you’re getting cookies (specifically your session  
ID) from IE6/Safari on Windows?
