This could have to do with which SQL database you are using. The
documentions sites some problems with the userdb system and Postgres. It
took it's word for it and developed my own custom perl/SQL user
management system as my solution. By passing around the session ID (or
just relying on the cookie that holds the session), I can integrate
smoothly with minivend.
