http://drupal.org/project/rename_admin_paths
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".
I have just implemented this. It works as advertised!
FYI: I have clients and potential clients that are 1)Paranoid - citing good reason 2)Extremely security conscious - citing good reason 3)Suspicious of PHP - http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf doesn't help things. 4)Suspicious of CMS systems.
(drupal, however - regardless of the core language is well spoken of by members of the same community, one of the reasons I chose to learn it)
This module is going to help me overcome much of the above. Furthermore it is illustrative of drupal's rich store of resources.
I included the enumerated items not to encourage controversy but to point out the push back that I am working to overcome. :) I'm not as paranoid as they are....
Thanks again for the support. You all keep up the good work. cheers
