Hi,
As you already know, the drupal module allows for distributed authentication. You can read more about that here: http://www.yourdrupalsite.com/admin/help/system
What happened in your case is that the person registered on your site, but then used the Drupal login to log in to your site. I have a few of those cases on my joke site. What I usually do if I don't want to allow distributed authentication is that I edit the welcome messages to NOT include that part of the message that they can log in with that information. If a user doesn't know about distributed authentication and you have disabled it, he can't log in that way.
Regards,
Kobus

I'm not sure of the terminology used for this, but I had a login similar to this on my system.
someone@www.mydomain.com
I understand that it's used to do a shared login from another site where 'someone' is registered and that's ok. But the person had *my* domain after the @ sign, not another domain! The name before the @ sign wasn't anywhere in my user list.
Any idea what went on here? The logs aren't very helpful. I'm using Drupal 4.6.5 and have disabled the Drupal module for now. I think that's what controls this being available or not. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
