how to add editor login?
Links 3.x

I figured out how to set up editors for categories but the help is pretty vague on how I allow my editors to login. I made a test editor and apparently this is not set up by default because after I log in I see no way for them to access the admin panel.

Help for a dummy please...what templates do I need to edit and what do I add so my editors can get to the admin.

It's something I noticed a few days ago as well (only happens if you use static mode). The way it was done in 2.x, was a link was added to the login success page. Here's a patch to login_success.html:
Code:
--- login_success.html 24 Mar 2005 08:58:29 -0000 1.8
+++ login_success.html 2 May 2005 02:00:19 -0000 1.9
