Funny thing. I was trying to create a custom menu on the side of the default.master page in SharePoint. I can't seem to find anyway to add security to pages so that they are trimmed out properly when the menu loads.....(help me please).

So I removed some of the xslt and added my own methods for adding a couple of hyperlink controls and having them link to the right pages. Apparently this is not a good thing to do....somehow the session state stopped working after this????  Whats nice is reverting to site definition fixed it so...at least it works again. but I am back to my original problem, which is security trimming at the page level. More work to be done on this...

FYI as a followup before I forget...looks like this was related to me using a server control as opposed to a web part on the page. After changing the controls to webparts I was able to bastardized the page to my hearts content.
