There are lots of authentication solutions around.
Check SXIP and OpenID. They both have Drupal modules.

Yep -- if you want this to scale infinitely, then run a central identity server (or use one of the systems you named as the master -- there is a SXIP homesite module for Drupal, for instance) and then implement the membersite protocol for any system you want to share login information. There aren't a lot of standalone identity servers yet, but most of them will run LDAP on the backend.

Hello. I'm the developer of Lyceum, a blogging services system based on WordPress. I'm looking into what the state-of-the-art is for common user login/namespace/database solutions.
My dream is to come up with a sustainable solution for sharing a user database between Lyceum, Drupal, and MediaWiki. What are folks using these days? LDAP? XMLRPC? Hacky custom backend scripts?
Any info on this topic would be very appreciated.
