I am trying to create a user model. When I generate the script, rails  
creates all the files though the migrate file should be labeled  
001\_create\_users.rb. Instead the file has the date followed by some  
other number and then \_create\_users.rb. Also it looks like the template  
for the file is slightly off from what I was expecting.

class CreateUsers \< ActiveRecord::Migration  
def self.up  
create\_table :users do |t|

```
  t.timestamps
end

```

end

def self.down  
drop\_table :users  
end  
end
