That's nice !
But now i concern about what users think if they land on the login- 
page, but maybe still have logged in. The may try to re-login with  
their credentials and always get the same result. I'm not shure about  
that any more...

A simple approach could be to deny read access to "@ALL" and grant  
read to "@USER", which every named user should be in.
Now each unauthenticated user will get the "access denied" page. On  
this page one can tell the user he has insufficient rights to see  
this content and maybe re-login with other credentials. To support  
him, this page may contain a link to the login-page ([[start? 
do=login]]) as well.

There must be a way to determine if the user is logged in or not...  
than a simple if-else could be placed into the case-command above to  
decide wether or not to redirect to the login-page.

Thanks,

Oliver Geisen
