I've noticed the same problem. My config is: $wgWhitelistEdit = true; # true = user must login to edit. $wgWhitelistRead = false; $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
In fact it seemed to be working until I used the Sysop account to create a user (using the Special:Userlogin page).
From that point on, it was impossible to login, I would systematically get:
Sysop access required The action you have requested can only be performed by users with "sysop" status

It seems this bug was introduced just prior to the 1.3.0 release. Seems to have been reverted already, so will be fixed in 1.3.1 which I'll push out shortly.
