	Ok, appreciate it. Hopefully 2 quick followups.

	1) If the auth_param basic timetolive is (for example) 120 minutes,
and 10 minutes after the client authenticates the ID is deleted, they'll 
still get 110 minutes of browsing time, correct? 

	2) I did a quick look at the module, and while I'm far from a C
programmer, it doesn't appear that you look for anything from the response
except "Access-Accept" (PW_AUTHENTICATION_ACK). If this is true, has any thought
been given, if it isn't somewhere already and I missed it, to abiding by the
"Session-Timeout" parameter? Is it even possible given the rest of squid to 
keep track of a "timetolive" per connection, or would another helper or a
custom helper need to be written to address this?

	Thanks! Tuc
