Dirk,

Are you still thinking of adding this and the other plugin 
functionality we discussed to the core?  If so, I thought I would 
mention my recent findings while hacking this file.  Basically, I came 
across the issue that plugin functions cannot be called from 
lib-sessions.php since the plugin files have not yet been included.  
What I ended up doing was setting a global variable saying that the 
user's session had been re-authenticated.  The best thing would 
probably be to put this somewhere in $_USER.  I then check for this 
global variable at the top of my plugin's functions.inc file.  If it is 
set, I re-authenticate with phpBB.

Well, I hope that is a little helpful.  If you'd like to see any of 
what I have written, shoot me a personal e-mail.

Oh, and I came up with another plugin function that would be very 
useful for me.  I'd like a callback for whenever a group is added, 
deleted, or modified.  This will allow me to sync groups between phpBB 
and Geeklog.

Please let me know if you want me to do anything.

Many thanks,
Turias
