Hi there,
I have tried using mod-rewrite and various plugins, including Stealth Login for this, but none worked.
The problem is that the WordPress address is similar to:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/wp-admin/ and I want it to be
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/login/
How do I do this since it's in its own folder?
Here's the code I'm trying to tinker with, unless there's a better solution?
RewriteRule ^login$ http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php [NC,L]

I'm looking for the same solution.
Looks like the stealth plugin doesn't work with WP 3.2.1
Did you find a solution yet?
btw, I think you need a rule that denies http://www.mydomain.com/blog/wp-admin too...

Instead of the rewrite rule you tried, use this one:
RewriteRule ^login$ wp-login.php

But that rewrite rule does not prevent connections to http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin
That needs to be blocked as well, can that be done with .htaccess as well?

2) Change the links from wp-logins.php to /login
in your functions.php (or someone plugin) add this filter

Don't know if this helps, it's another step towards what you're doing.
It didn't work for me, not sure which functions.php, i tryed two.
Let me know if you get it to works please.

Again: This successfully redirects 'secure-login' to 'wp-admin' but is NOT making 'wp-admin' unavailable. The visitor STILL can go to http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin directly. So it's not a real sollution

Well, still there is a slight problem.
The solution 'Sounds' mentioned works, but only if the wordpress site resides in the servers root dir. I have another site where wordpress is running in a subdir and there it doesn't work.
What do I need to change to make it work in a subdirectory? Is it just a matter of defining the basedir or so?

- go to wp-login.php , open script
- replace all the "wp-login.php" with "your-url.php"
