[Zope] Re: On a CMF site, when user get "404 Not Found" error, it appears they are logged out automatically....

[Gary Zhu]

Okay, now I understand why.

However, on websites with alot of personalization, it would be pretty 
confusing
for the user see an error page, and all their personalized stuff are gone.

For now, I just don't use the main_template with the error page, so the 
user don't see
the login link, and "You are not logged in" on the error page.
