Earnie,
I have installed only modules that have full Drupal 6 recommendation.
The permissions for Taxonomy are very limited: merely "administer"--so I don't want to dispense that one very widely. For Forum there are more options, but there is no "access content." The lowest is "create new forum topic." I don't really want to give that permission to anonymous users, but when I check it, the forums- list page appears for them. For now I've decided to control access via menus. I simply won't post a link to the "node/add/0" page. If someone knows enough about Drupal to type that in, they can create a new topic without logging in, but I guess I'll have to live with that possibility for now.

Earnie,
I do have the Taxonomy module installed.
I spent a while looking for "access modules," but I couldn't find any-- at least any that were filtered for 6. Perhaps I didn't know what I was looking for. *Should* I have any access modules installed? Is there one that would solve the problem? I'm think it really is a permissions problem--unless, of course, other people in D6 can access the "forums/" page (the auto-generated index of fora) while in anonymous user role.
My point in asking about access modules was to determine if a contrib module might be the issue. I don't know how many users are actually using D6 yet, there are some major modules that haven't published a production ready version yet. What about the user access permissions for Taxonomy and Forum modules? Are they set for access by Anonymous Users?
