When you use a recent Zope version (2.4 or 2.5), then you should
be able to customize "standard_error_message" to give these
exceptions a specific error page.

Alternatively, you may look at a User Folder with cookie based authentication.
It shows you how to catch "Unauthorized" exceptions explicitly.
