Hi all,
I'm trying to built 5 seperate websites with seperate content but they have to share same user database. Is it possible to build user-shared multisites with drupal?

Yes.

Just edit your setting.php file. (detailed instructions can be found in settings.php itself)

Change the line:

$db_prefix = "mysite2_";

to:

$db_prefix = array(
     'default'   => 'mysite2_',
     'users'     => 'shared_',
     'sessions'  => 'shared_',
     'role'      => 'shared_',
     'authmap'   => 'shared_',
     'sequences' => 'shared_',
);

Of course, you have to have shared_users, shared_sessions, etc., in your database.

Regards.
