Authenticate against an external system.
Quite simple.

Set up a SOAP or whatevr service which gets username and password and 
then sign up a "ghost" user in your other sites.

Loggin in FE_USERS remotely is done like this:

$loginData=array(
         'uname' => $userdata['username'],
         'uident'=> $userdata['password'],
         'status' =>'login'
);
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->checkPid = FALSE;
$info = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->getAuthInfoArray();
$user = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->fetchUserRecord( $info['db_user'],
$loginData['uname'] );
$ok=$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->compareUident( $user, $loginData );
if( $ok ) {
         $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->createUserSession( $user );
         $GLOBALS['TSFE']->loginUser = 1;
         $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->start();
}
