Description
When front_page for anonymous is set
and "access content" for anonymous is set to false
an "access denied" message appear instead the front page
I wish I could use the front_page for anonymous to display a nice page
saying "welcome to my site.. please login to see its content"

#1
updated module attached. thanks to Dublin Drupaller....
The updated version includes a new Permissions setting for Access front page to get around the ACCESS DENIED messages for anon/guest.
Overwrite your existing front_page.module with the one attached to this post (remove the .txt extension)
You then need to go to ADMINISTER -> USER MANAGEMENT -> PERMISSIONS and enable "ACCESS FRONT PAGE" for anonymous users. Then go to ADMINISTER ->SITE CONFIGURATION -> PERFORMANCE and click on the CLEAR CACHE button to clear out the cached access denied messages...
