The above is a pretty significant one. Others have to do with just
what you mean by "login" to Yahoo--what effect are going for? For
example, once they've logged into your site, you want them to be able
to navigate back and forth between Yahoo and your site? Or maybe
that you'll be showing both on one page. Or maybe something else.
The bulk of this depends on the exact mechanism used to login to your
site as well as the mechanism used by Yahoo (hence the advice to
contact them :-).
For example, say Yahoo does logins through a scripted validation
process that issues a cookie. Since your site can't issue a cookie
for Yahoo, There Is Nothing You Can Do (probably).
Alternately, Yahoo might provide some way for a third party to login
in on behalf of someone else.
In all honesty, I think you are likely SOL, but I don't know Yahoo
enough to say that for sure (hence the advice to contact them :-).
My personal recommendation would be to consolidate both sites onto
your ISP and save yourself the headache.
