No, I have no automatic login.

My point was, that there is no authentication until you want to "edit". 
Essential the path goes to twiki/bin/edit/BlahBlah. The edit script 
requires authentication. It sounded to me like Jim was being prompted to 
login while trying to view a page. This is the view script 
(twiki/bin/view/BlahBlah) and it does not require authentication. When 
Jim said "When you first reach the above URL" maybe he meant "When you 
first edit the above URL." If he is in fact getting a login prompt by 
just viewing a page, than that mystifies me and it will require further 
investigation.
