Thanks Brian. Yes that seems to be what's needed. I'll explore the creation of landing pages.
I do not mind if it needs additional modules, any clean way of achieving it would be a great help. I haven't found any suitable modules for this. Yes pre login is the awkward part.
I don't have the understanding of Drupal yet to set up filter blocks (with menus) by role, is there a tut on how to do that sort of thing?
What if member's login produced a menu from which a user/role could be selected and to access that required another password.. would that work? If so how would I set up the second password request. Thanks Roger
If I'm following correctly what you're looking for, a simple solution with no extra modules could be to create landing pages for each role which include login blocks and whatever else you want, filtered by URL (/memberlogin/reviewer). Of course, once logged in it's easy to filter blocks (with menus) by role. It's pre-login that's not so easy, because the users do not have roles at that time.

Using Drupal 6.19
We have a generic member's login for group members with password and user based on a current newsletter publication but this does not facilitate different pages depending on user.
In our system certain users each have a role/responsibility.
From the Block building page you can set which roles can see what blocks.
So you can create, for example, a "reviewer" menu and put it in a block that only "reviewers" can see.
