Re: odd results from auth redirect

OK, I now seem to have success by destroying all session data in login function _before_ logging in (shown below).
Am I violating any cakePHP conventions in doing so?
Or perhaps simply clearing some default setting that I have been overlooking so far?

Thanx, McS

UsersController.php:
    public function login() {
        $this->Session->destroy(); // attempt to clear session data before login
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
            if ($this->Auth->login()) {
                return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl()); // from Auth tutorial
            } else {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Your username or password was incorrect.');
            }
        }
    } // end login()

Been following the acl and auth tutorials and appear to be near working except for AuthComponent loginRedirect and logoutRedirect properties. Very bare-bones setup as listed below.

Watching the DebugKit.Toolbar output I note the following:
1) on the users/login page Session > Auth > redirect is /pages/home, no user defined
2) form accepts username and password provided and redirects to /pages/home, Session > Auth > user and activeUser are defined correctly
3) also clicking the users/logout link on that page redirects to /users/login page with same conditions as 1)

But I expected my setup below to assign the loginRedirect to /lots/index and logoutRedirect to /pages/home? What did I miss?
