When i click logout it seems to be working but at-times i get a message 'Access Denied'

Is there anything to worry about?

no, when you log out on screens where anon users shouldnn't be you will get an access denied, because you are now an anon user.

If you don't want an access denied screen when logging out of "certain" areas (like administer) which are unavailable to anon users, log out from your front page or I suppose, if you really wanted to go through the trouble, you could create a custom 403 error page and set it in administer -> error reporting

I don't perticularily notice this situation very often, as when a log out occurs it seems to take me back to the front page.

I have also had the same problem of Access Denied when logging out sometimes but not other times. It is not a major issue but it is a bit annoying.

I am still relatively new to Drupal and not technically experienced enough to solve this. I am using the advanced front page module on Drupal 6 and have different front page for anonymous and authenticated users. I wondered if it might be a Front page module issue but think not. I think it has to do with the logout sequence during which there may be a call to the home page and this may occurring before the home page has had a chance to reset.

In one of the posts I read a suggestion to consider using the cache omit module but I cannot find such a module and do not know if that is really the way to go.

Any thoughts on how to solve this problem would be appreciated. Thanks,
