add_action( 'muplugins_loaded', function(){
	global $current_blog, $current_site;
	if ( false === stripos( $current_blog->domain, $current_site->cookie_domain ) ) {

	}
});

thanks for the suggestions. Where should this piece of code go? ...my custom themes's function.php seems a late load to be active at the admin login screen :/

thanks for this, very handy ;)
code should likely go in as a mu-plugin
