Hy Chris!

That´s right - but tell this the customer.
I´m using also only the /admin-part and not the complete one.
I had a customer who called me with exact this problem.

Customer: "I have installed a CMS on the webspace but my password 
wouldn´t accepted"
Support worked a long time to find out that the user was trying to login 
to the Blueonyx-Admin and
not the CMS of the User.
The Install wasn´t the problem because the directory was /install, but 
then the Admin was /admin.
And if you have some customer without too much technical knowhow then 
you get silly.

That´s the reason why I have deleted all the /admin-Redirects.
