Call me extra-cautious, but I would like to completely hide my login form. Is there a way?

- I've hidden the login block, from the sidebars.
- But, you can still login at www.mysite.com/user (www.mysite.com?q=user) or even www.mysite.com/user/login. Is there a way to change that? Perhaps rename /user to something like www.mysite.com/secret or www.mysite.com/secret/login?
- Is there a way to use .htacces as another means to protect the login?

We have a very small list of registered users, and will distribute the secret url to them. The general public won't need to log in. I just don't want someone to use some sort of dictionary or brute force attempt to try to gain access.

Much thanks!

I am not sure if secure site fills your needs, alternative could be to to make a subsite with .htacces password facility or secure site..
good luck
