Initial Drupal 5 release of the module.

Descripton:

This module provides an interface that allows registered users to use a login name which is different than their username.

To use, simply enable the module, then visit the user edit page. Enter the alternate login name in the 'Alternate Login' textfield, and save.

Note that users can still login with their normal username--this just adds the option of another login name. Also note that an alternate login name may not be equivalent to any other current alternate login name, nor any current username.
