The "right" way is a relative concept, however IMVHO you should
use Default Auth for a site with mixed auth criteria (some page
protected, some not).

In such case, being that user that have not authenticated have not
privileges, a simple test on $perm will do the trick:

<? if ($perm->have_perm("user")) { ?>
<A HREF="<? $sess->purl("logout.html"); ?>">Click to
logout</A>
<? } else { ?>
<A HREF="<? $sess->purl("page.html?login=1"); ?>">Click to
login</A>
<? } ?>

The login var is a flag that when activated will trigger a loginform.

HTH, bye
