as it breaks the security principle of not revealing un-authorised facts to unauthorised users.

it should fall back on the site's skin

(ok, so this may not be desirable for sites where security isn't as major a concern, some of us have users that don't want other users to know about their confidential webs - and the skin is a bit of a giveaway)

I may make a plugin to see how this can be implemented, but more likely it'll be an extra expert cfg option for the templateLoginManager
