Ok I ran the backup and then tried to login to the schoolserver from Browse.
It prefills in my login name as the aliased user instead of the new username
and my magic cookie doesn't work anymore.

I guess its changing the username when I try to login and it doesn't match.
I'll see if I can track this down, I am not sure where it gets the cookie
and how aliasing works yet.
