Is there some way to re-implement D5's distributed authentication (http://drupal.org/node/312) in Drupal 6?

No, the "drupal module" was removed from Drupal 6. It was not used much, and it has become a kind of custom in core development to remove the least used module in almost every new major release and to add something new (in this case openid).

Interesting. It was probably under-utilisied because folks didn't do more than simple multi-site. I would think with the advances in the domain and aegir as support modules, uptake might have improved. Probably better for it to be out of core though.

I found something. Here is its successor:

http://drupal.org/project/site_network

It took some effort to find it. "drupal module" is not an easy search.
