Quite unlikely, the cookie is exchanged directly between the Xymon server
and your browser.

On the webpage where you view the status (just before going to the ack-
page), try doing a "View Source" (ctrl-U in Firefox). Near the top you
should see two lines like these:
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="pagepath=mypage; path=/">
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="host=; path=/">
(either the 'pagepath' or the 'host' cookie should be set, not both).
Are these correct ?

There shouldn't be any file-permission issues with the final 4.2.2 release.
