We have exactly the same problem with 2.0.7. However machines running 2.2.5
work fine. I think this was a new feature for 2.0.7. I would suggest that
you upgrade to the latest version 2.2.7a as there are some potential
security issues with 2.2.5. I have yet to test this on the machine we have
just upgraded to 2.2.7a, but I expect it will continue to work.
