They have to log in again. How could you know that a user was the
same from PC to PC if they didn't log in again? Now, that's not to
say that you can't have two cookies on two different machines with
the same user info. But as soon as they do anything on one machine
that changes the cookie, the machines will be out of sync.
You could store the info in a database, and just put a user-ID in the
cookie. They'll have to log in once at each machine, but there is
less chance of things gretting out of sync, since all changing data
is in the db.
BTW, sessions and cookies are not mutually exclusive.

It's possible that they're clearing out the tmp directory where the
session files are stored. Can you specify another location for them?

Is sessions life something you could set in .htaccess? ... checking
php docs... yes, session.save_path can be set in .htaccess or via
ini_set(). Might be worth a try... In fact, almost all session
settings can be set that way.
