Richard,

I just tried to reproduce your problem, and couldn't.  Here is
what I did::

 $ cd /usr/local/zope/ZopePTK-head
 $ cvs -q up -AdP
 $ cd /usr/local/zope/Zope2-head
 $ cvs -q up -AdP
 $ cd ~/projects
 $ mkdir burrows
 $ cd burrows
 $ ZOPE_HOME=/usr/local/zope/Zope2-head \
   PTK_HOME=/usr/local/zope/ZopePTK-head ../make_ptk_site
 $ ./zstart -P 4000 -w 4081

I then created a "Portal (New)" instance, and was immediately
able to view and browse it as 'Anonymous User'.  Can you please
let us know which versions of Zope and the PTK/CMF you are using,
and exactly what you do to set up your portal instance?

Tres.
