Any thoughts?

Sounds like you are using a RequestContext, which is the first step. That plus having the auth context processor listed in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting would give you a template variable user. (The auth context processor is included in the default setting value for TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.)

The context processor that would set request is this one: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django-core-context-processors-request. That one is not in the default TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting, so if you want request to be set in all your templates then you'll need to add it.
