logouthash - What *exactly* is it?

[6impy]

I understand why they implemented it, but I'm curious how can I determine/calculate it independent of the forums?

I mean, it is a random session variable or a md5 of the username+password or what?

Thanks!

Constant COOKIE_SALT is your vBulletin License Number.

Thank you Kirby. I've been awake for about 30 hours now and going insane trying to get everything working.
