[Casper] Flushing User Caches

[Miles Leacy]

I believe for $3 and login policies in general to work, you need to check
"Create Login/Logout Hooks", "Log IP/Username with Login/Logout Hooks" and
"Check for Policies with Login/Logout Hooks" in Management Preferences,
which is found in the Management tab.
