Thanks Rob that's really helpful.
However I've just read on the site that apparently username are not allowed to include spaces or non-alphanumeric characters... This could cause a problem for me as we have existing users with some crazy usernames :)
I'll keep on looking in the docs.
Cheers, Tom

How can I sync up my existing user registration and login with MediaWiki?
Take a look at the AuthPlugin interface (see includes/AuthPlugin.php).
And finally how can I log the user in via my existing login script. Do I have to set a cookie or session?
You *could* see session values directly; you may also find the AutoAuthenticate hook (see docs/hooks.txt) of use here.
