The three questions that come to mind are:
1) Which version of MediaWiki are you running?
2) Have you installed any extensions?
3) Is there a chance that someone's modified your copy of MediaWiki? I'd
assume a poorly programmed trojan (password stealing utility) might cause
the type of symptoms you're describing.

every time I logon as WikiSysop the password si disabled.
I reset the password with changePassword.php an it is changed in the DB
nd I can logon.
after I login the password is set to nologin
mysql> select user_password,user_newpassword from user where user_name
like "%WikiSysop%";
+---------------+------------------+
| user_password | user_newpassword |
+---------------+------------------+
| nologin | |

1 row in set (0.01 sec)
is there a way to disable this behaviour ?
thanks

hello,
when I try to cahnge a user password with changePassword.php
maintenance program,
password is correctly changed and user can logon.
but if I restart mysql daemon, user cannot logon anymore, because
passsword does not work.
Looks like password is stored only untli mysql is restarted
the sames also happens changing password manually inside the user table
in the wiki database
any clue ?
thanks
Rick
Is other data stored in mysql kept on restart?
This looks like mysql unable to save things to disk and keeping it in
memory until it stops.
Maybe its file is being replaced and the changes are written to a
deleted inode?
