[support] Hiding admin section / log in ?

[sinkingfish]

Thanks for the reply. Just a few q's :)

If I disable the log in for on the admin screens. How do I then gain access
to the site? Would you be better displaying the login on a specific page? eg
www.example.com/cms ? Can you set a theme for different node, i.e. garland
(my admin theme) to the path /cms

I'm just starting out using Drupal but so far I'm loving it
