There is a PHP snippet which tests if the user logged in is of a specific role, but only for version 4.x
http://drupal.org/node/13266

How would I update this for Drupal 5.x? 

<?php
global $user;
$output = '';
if (in_array('admin user',$user->roles)) {
   $output .= '<i>A block for admin users</i>';
   $output .= '<ul>';
   $output .= '<li><a href=/"?q=Admin/">Administration interface</a></li>';
   $output .= '</ul>';
}
return $output;
?>

I'll add it to the handbook, if someone can help?

Try
tac_lite
hidden_content
menu_per_role
or any of the other modules which do that for you.

Oh wait - a block? Just clicky
[x] show for this particular user
and don't clicky
[x] anonymous access
in the admin -> block -> configure
settings.

ah it's not actually for a block, it's just a little message i want to show for a specific user role.

http://drupal.org/project/menu_per_role

that might work, but i don't like the hacky method of the patch... i'd like to install as few modules as possible...

just want something to appear for a specific user role in the page template, so it's not a node actually. or a block.

i guess i could make it one? then include.. but i thought there must be a way to get that snippet code to work in 5.x... i just don't know myself what is wrong.

hidden_content is what you want.
