Hello again Faruk, I think the symbol *session* is not bound immediately after calling the function start-session, but the function returns it; this code works:

(defun f ()
  (let ((username (hunchentoot:parameter "username"))
(session (hunchentoot:start-session)))
    (format t "session:~s~%" session)
    (setf (hunchentoot:session-value 'sessu session) username)
    (hunchentoot:session-value 'sessu session)))
