Answer based on this thread: When I posted to mail list, I did not change the "user login" block configure, all are default setting, I also can see the login window, but can not see the logout link for autherticated user But now I had more troube, I click the check box "show block for specific roles" for "autthenticated user" under "user login" block. I can ot go back to admin to reset it, plus there is no login window and logout link.... do you know how to set it back? BTW, how to reply the email from maillist thread?

When you create an authenticated user, that use only has the permissions granted to that role by the admin. Go to administer, the look for something like "roles" or "user permissions" (I am using 5.0, may not be the same). The Admin can control what parts of the site are visible to the various roles (such as authenticated user). The default is to not give much authority to a role.
