bugs in the PHP Auth library

I've recently started integrating PHP Auth (http://php.rufy.com/) into 


my PHP application. I've had a few problem with it though: I've fixed 


two bugs, one of which was quite glaring - it basically stopped 


authentication working at all once you were logged in - such an obvious 


bug that I don't know how the author didn't have problems with it 


themself. Anyway, an email I sent to the author's address listed on the 


web page went answered, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems 


with PHP Auth? If it's really as buggy as this (and I'm not doing 


something stupid) I'll seek an alternative as my trust in this lib has 


waned.



Has anyone else used PHP Auth before? Also have problems?



Can anyone suggest a good alternative? I could always roll my own login 


system of course...


thanks
