If all your pages should only be viewed by authenticated visitors,
then you could simply associate the "View" permission with "Authenticated"
(and withdraw it from "Anonymous") in the root folder and keep
the "Aquire permissions settings". In modern Zope versions, the
"View" permission is not granted to "Anonymous" for each object, thus
this would require authentication for each access and all of your
pages should work (because they all require authentication).

If some pages should be viewable by "Anonymous", you would locally
grant "View" permission to "Anonymous" for these objects only.

See above.

IE above 5.5 should be okay...
