Same problem, but nothing helps

I’m running 1.3.2.4

I have set locale to the same as the server.
I have set cookie timeout to 86400
I am running on a server with a domain name (NOT localhost)

I have NO problem logging into the Admin backend.
But when I try to log into the front end nothing happens… just redirect to the login screen. Some clients reported to me the same problem. When I edit their account et re-save them, they can successfully login to the store. The next day the accounts expires again…

It’s strange the same “expired” accounts has no problem to login using the form on checkout !?!

I have made sure the browser settings are right, still no luck.
It behaves same on IE 8, 7, 6 or Firefox, Safari.

A few weeks ago it was working fine, and I donâ€™t know what changed!?!?!

It is driving me insane. Any ideas on how to fix it?
