The hook documentation in the file authentication.php [1] doesn't say
that hook_auth() is only invoked when the user logs in using the
user at domain format login info (ie a non-local login).   Ie. if you
login with just username, hook_auth() isn't called for modules.   It
should say that.



See discussion in related issues:



* Authentication hook for local users [2]
* Authentication Module for local users [3]


Since this issue refers to documentation in code, I'm not sure if this
issue should be submitted under documentation or code.  Apologies if
I'm submitting it in the wrong place.
