Obscure problem

[Ahmed Shihab]

I have an problem which only seems to occur under the following
circumstances:

Horde/Imp/Kronolith/Nag/Whups/Turba/Chora all HEAD as of 27.02.2002
Apache 1.3.22 from stock RH build
PHP 4.1.1
OS Linux RH 7.1
IMP is set to authenticate the horde application
All applications are set as not accessable for guests.

I've piped port 80 through SSH to a remote machine. From the remote
(windows) machine I access the horde application. All operations from
login to accessing all applications works fine, except for chora.

When I try to access Chora I get the horde login screen again, if I
login I can see the first page of the CVS tree. when I try to access
any subpages I get the login screen again which takes me back to the
first page.

if I access Chora from a local machine or a remote one (not through
SSH) all is fine, ie I can use Chora as you'd expect.

SSH:
server openSSH 2.9p2
client from Cedomir Igaly and SSH client 3.1.0 (build 235) from SSH 
communications

Any ideas?
