[Serusers] problem with serwev confirmation...

[Barry Murphy]

I've edited the code and got it all working, however still get slow page
loads when trying to access ser_fifo (pages dont load, just blue bar going
slowly till timeout). Another thing i'm thinking may be an issue is I have 2
servers sharing the same DB, one remote server and then the local one, how
are they going to share ser_fifo info; what the heck is ser_fifo used for;
cant it use the DB?

Everytime i start ser I have to change the permissions of ser_fifo :/
