Remove Caution Message in admin

[townsend2009]

CAUTION: Your /admin/ foldername should be renamed to something less common, to prevent unauthorized access.

If I don't want to rename my admin folder, how can I remove this message?

It is strongly recommended that you rename the /admin for security purposes ...

Why wouldn't you want your Admin to be more secure?

My client does not want it changed.

So I just need to know how to remove it. Sigh...

I wonder if in the next version ZC will have named it something else.

The whole point in you changing it, is so that it isn't a standard name that hackers etc look for, if the next version of zencart called admin something else then the naughty pixies will know that, it would be effective for about 10secs

I understand these things ;) But I can't argue with a client that's adamant about not changing it.

Can someone please just tell me how to get rid of it?

Yes you can. You have a responsibility to protect your client and the servers you use from harm.

No.

when the site is hacked who will pay the price? will your reputation be on the line? Just saying if they are uninterested in basic security, you may want to walk away from this one.

[townsend2009]

Wow...ok I guess I will just figure it out myself.

They sign a hold harmless for something like this. I just wanted to know. Sorry I asked.

I have made them fully aware of the potential risks. That's all I can do.

The reason I mention the items above is your own Rep is at stake and its an item that clients don't get and I have forced many to change. Clients are idiots when it comes to security and will use very weak passwords like their own name every time. You as the pro have to grow a pair and force this. Trust me, I deal with Arabs and the fight is always fun but in the end its for the best for you, the client, and the Zen cart community. In the end they will respect you more and trust your work that much more.
