That's the right term.  
<?php 
echo get_include_path.'<br />';
exit(print_r(get_included_files())); 
?>
At the right place in the script that deals with the login process ought to
show you if a PEAR pkg is being used.  The include_path will show where PEAR
lives, and the latter statement will show which pkg is being used, if any
(probably Auth or LiveUser, if any).
Probably the login state, whether it's PEAR or not, will use sessions to
maintain state.
HTH.
