Of course any custom routes might be worth thinking about.[/quote]

You don't need to worry about custom routes. The function uses "rsegment" which re-routes the path and confirms the true path.

You only need to include it in the action if you don't include the check() in the constructor. You would do this only in a controller when you want to protect one action (which is highly unlikely). Otherwise, you would have to add granted access for guests/normal users in the database which can be cumbersome.
