Combine SignUp/Login process

Hello,

We've made some small edits to the membership plug-in to allow users to chose their password at sign-up.

However, the only thing I'm having trouble figuring out is how to *not* require the user to enter that same information immediately afterward to login.

Ideally, the new user would just be redirected to the member-only page and see their confirmation message there.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dennis
