<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am new to this list and have just begun using
Drupal about 2 months ago. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>My project manager would like me to remove the user
logon form (ID, PWD) from the site, and replace this with a small and
unobtrusive "admin logon" hyperlink that would lead to the logon on a separate
page.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have found the code that seems to pertain to this
in user.module, but don't really know how I can facilitate this change.
Has anyone written something similar, or could someone tell me how to redirect
the login form so it isn't so prominent on the site?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT> </P><BR><BR>
