It looks like something changed between 1.19.2 and 1.19.3 that makes $wgSharedDB no longer work for shared user account. These are the symptoms: 1. Things work fine on the "original" wiki - you can login to it, and if you login to it first you can then seamlessly move over to the "$wgSharedDB" wiki. 2. If you try logging in to the "$wgSharedDB" first, it acts as if login failed completly. 3. If you try logging in to the "$wgSharedDB" first, and check the "remember my login for 180 days" button, login works.
Hi, which database (e.g. MySQL) is this about? Is there any interesting output when debugging is enabled and the login fails? See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug
It's MySQL 5.1.66-0+squeeze1 I'll have to set up a debug environment for the second question, will get back to you on that, thanks for the pointer!

Unfortunately closing this report as no further information has been provided. Daniel: Please feel free to reopen this report if you can provide the information asked for in comment 1 and if this still happens in a supported MediaWiki version. Thanks!
