I was looking at this earlier today. Those that are in the monitor list
have "anonymous" as the author (prsumably due to people getting logged
out), so I wonder if comments from authenticated users are going via a
different path. I fiddled with various things, and enabled logging, but
am no further forward. The easiest way forward would probably be to
upgrade to trac 0.12, except it's not packaged for Debian (even in
unstable).

Maybe installing trac from source is the best way forward.


Thanks
