Muhammad Haris’ pages are great, but they default to wp-login if the username/password entered is incorrect. That’s been my only trouble with them.
If you’re using the latest WordPress (2.5.1 as of this post), I’ve created a patch for wp-login.php that adds support for custom login pages and makes theming your login / registration page quite simple. http://stilldesigning.com/2008/05/01/custom-login-page-for-wordpress/ is my blog post about it (hey, this is a WordPress forum, right? 😉 ) and a link to the Trac ticket where you can find the patch and sample login.php file.
