The login block says:

Enter your pingVision username. e-mail address, or an ID from one of our affiliates: Drupal.

Since drupal.module now has more granular control, this module-triggered check should make sure that the drupal module is indeed set to accept distributed logins. As it is, if the module is active, whether authentication is enabled or not, the Drupal-related text appears.

In our case, we were happy to send statistics to Drupal on our modules etc., but do not feel comfortable with the distributed authentication for all Drupal-powered sites. Yet we don't want to give false instructions on our login(toboggan) block, so we're forced to disable the drupal module altogether.

Looking at the code, I see it's possible this is a mis-indication given from the Drupal module itself, in which case this request/report is filed in the wrong place. If so, I'll be happy to post this in the appropriate place.

i don't understand the dist auth stuff all that well, but it looks like user module simply checks if the service is enabled as well, so i've added this check to logintoboggan in 4.7 and HEAD. if this doesn't fix the issue, please reopen with more detail.

this problem is compounded by a bug in user.module. i've submitted an issue and a patch for it here. please test help w/ testing that patch if you'd like it committed!
