Hi,

I’m trying to get this generator to work, and I followed the steps  
detailed here:

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SaltedLoginGeneratorQuickstart](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SaltedLoginGeneratorQuickstart)

But whenever I try to open for example, /user/signup, I get that error.

I’ve searched on Google, but no one seems to have the same problem, so  
could you help me out?

Thanks!

Ivan V.

Did you _definitely_ perform step 4? The login\_required method is  
defined (as far as I remember) in /lib/user\_system.rb, so you need to  
be absolutely sure that this file has been loaded, and that the  
UserSystem module has been included into the ApplicationController  
class

Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
