Hi Brett,

To some degree, yes. When we added replication, we needed an easy way 
to replicate the state of all the "cosign= "cookies to the other cosign 
servers. By changing from a file parse to the permissions test, monster 
can replicate logged in/out status with just a stat() and no longer 
needs to call read_cookie(). I suppose we should remove the s[0/1] file 
format line, but we've kept it for compatibility's sake so far.
