In Drupal 5.7, I have the login block disabled under blocks admin.
I added an option to the navagation menu, called "login", with a 
description of "administrative users log in here" or some such, and a path 
of "/user/login".  Example at <http://www.newlifehv.org>.

That sounds similar to what you want to do.  You could leave off the menu 
portion of this, and just give your administrative users a direct URL to 
login, be it "/user", "/user/login", or the "/?q=user" version that Earny 
suggested.
