path shouldn't hurt..  the cookie spec says that "anything under" the 
path is how it's supposed to work, so setting the path to / is the 
global way to deal with cookies so they'll work anywhere within the 
specified domain.

If you remove the domain, you create a cookie that any site can see. 
Personally, I don't like that idea.  I've run mythweb from subdirs (I 
tested up to 3 levels deep) and it works fine.

If you're having issues, it's most likely the domain setup, not the 
path.  What domain are you using to access mythweb?  and what domain is 
it setting the cookie for?

(btw, all of this is fixed in svn for people who use apache 
authentication, since the session data is stored per-user for logged-in 
users, rather than based on the cookie).
