Hi. I hadn't seen that example in the tutorial. It should work, and there may be an underlying bug with `-r`, but I'm still not convinced that it really represents good practice. rafl recommended (in #catalyst IRC) doing the following: add a `:NoAuth` attribute to your login/register/etc. actions (note: actions, not controllers), and then check `if ($c->action->attributes->{NoAuth})` [download] to decide whether to bypass auth.

I will summarize my experiences in a single reply here Running catalyst without the -r worked well enough for my development purposes. I tried the various suggestions put forth: $self->action_namespace $c->req->path $c->action->attributes->{NoAuth} They all worked but I found setting :NoAuth attribute most suitable to my needs as it gave me the precision of labelling those few actions permitted without being logged in, without the need to specify the complete path to them (which might change as I build my site). Thanks, everyone for your help. Much appreciated	[reply]
