This module allows you to:

   - rename path like '/admin/...' to '/something/...'
   - rename path like '/user/..' to '/something else/..'

It can be effective against registration spam bots or malicious people.

This small module just implements hook_outbound_alter and
hook_inbound_alter to rename paths.
A settings form allows to choose replacement term for "admin" and "user".
