That depends. You’re not giving us much to go on. Some questions  
spring to mind:

- Is it just the login/out functionality that has you stumped, or the  
whole online auction application ?
- What have you done so far to figure it out ? Maybe a plugin could  
help ?
- How much Ruby have you done ?
- How much Rails have you done ?
- Have you read any books or tutorials ?
- Is RadRails mandatory for your project ?
- Have you used it (or any Eclipse-based IDE) before ?
- Do you have any PHP experience that might translate ? Java ?
- Do you have a deadline ?
- What does this online auction need to do ?
- What kind of information is required for an account ?
- Do you need to store credit cards ?
- Can a logged in user sell things, or just buy them ?

As you can (hopefully) start to see, a vague question like that doesn’t  
provide any context for a meaningful answer. Specific questions,  
accompanied by some idea what what you’ve already tried are much more  
likely to get answered.

From your question, I can’t tell if you need help with a login plugin,  
RadRails, the whole app, or even where to start with Rails or Ruby.

Hope this helps.
