[Lispweb] How to do this simple php trick with araneida?

[Richard Newman]

If all you're wanting to do is control access to resources, but make  
someone login only once in a given period, you should store some  
hashed value in a cookie. Compare this hashed value to some values  
stored on the server to decide if someone is authenticated.

A session is a much heavier-weight concept than merely providing an  
authentication cookie.
