Hi,
I am currently trying to make my MU installation re-use the userlogins (and cookies) that my users already have at our phpBB2 forum. This is obviously to avoid asking people to signup for a 2nd thing when they already got one login.
Does anyone know if such plug-in already exists, or maybe a small trick on how to do the job?
Any help will be highly appriciated.

I know several people have gotten BBPress to work with WPMU but I haven't heard of any PHPBB2 success stories.
My suggestion would be to write a php script that merges the users between the PHPBB table and WPMU users table. Now this won't be *easy* because you'll also have to have the script create the blog tables as well as populate the *meta tables.
You could probably use the built in new user function in WPMU and just feed it the information from the PHPBB user table.
I would setup a cronjob/crontab and have it run once an hour maybe.
I seem to remember someone promising us a walkthru on how to do it.
I just said the heck with it myself and install bbpress. Took all of 2 seconds.
You are free to read the threads covering the subject though.

*looks around* Nope wasn't me. No walkthroughs promised here. ;)
Seriously though, bbpress is by far the easiest forum script to integrate with WPMU.
I wasn't trying to pick on you by the way. I just went the bbpress route myself.
No harm done :)
