advanced message board script suggestions?

i'm developing a site which has many pages. i'd like there to be a "user comments" section at the bottom of each page. i could develop this easily by itsself, but then i realized that i'd like to have the usernames/passwords that people sign up to comment be used in the message board aswell.

the thing is that i'm not up to developing a whole message board script by myself just for the sake of people having 1 universal username/password for the site.

does anyone know of any message board script available that would let me implement something like this? i guess if worst comes to worst i could have my comments script check phpBB's user database, it'd get a bit confusing for the users though. any suggestions? thanks :)

Wrote my own CMS. Didn't think I could write a whole CMS by myself either.

I would probably use minibb (http://www.minibb.net) instead of phpBB. miniBB is a lot lighter.
