You could also make it a separate field.  I had suggested allowing the GL
admin control a list of sites that were allowed to cross authenticate with
theirs - well in the config when you set those, it could also populate a
dropdown box that the user logging in can choose from.

Otherwise without explicit restrictions, our spammers could quickly setup a
geeklog site and visit every site out there before we knew what hit us.
