Permission denied page instead of login page

I have a pretty complex site setup with an administration section that
uses the Auth Component.

What I'm wondering is if it is possible to show a "Page Denied" page
instead of the Login page when a user tries to access a restricted
page.

I have my authorization set up by component. At the top of each
controller I have a beforeFilter function, and a $this->Auth->allow
for those actions that are available.

We have been tightening up the site and I'm sure this will cause some
bad links and I don't really want it to be any easier to find the
login screen for out website. As the site works now if someone tries
to access an action that's protected it redirects them to a "Login"
screen (I'm sure this is pretty standard for how most CakePHP sites
are set up).

Is there a way that I can have these redirected to a "access deneid"
page (/pages/access_denied) page instead of the login screen? I only
want the login screen to be displayed is someone types in http://homepage.com/admin

Here is my Auth stuff in the app_controller.php setup:

$this->Auth->loginAction = '/admin/users/login';
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = '/admin/users/login';
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';
$this->Auth->allow('display', );
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';

if (isset($this->params['admin'])) {
$this->layout = 'admin_default';
}

function isAuthorized(){
return true;
}
