[support] Drupal login from "other" site

[Seth Freach]

If they need to be 2 truly separate sites, then what you describe would 
be addressed with a Single Sign On (SSO) solution.
try:
  - http://drupal.org/project/sso
  - http://drupal.org/project/cas

(or, this might be possible using the OpenID implementation built into 
Drupal core along with http://drupal.org/project/openid_provider ?)
