Hi,

I am looking for a login system / plugin / code to use with rails 1.2.x.

Has anyone got any recommendations on any samples or know what 37signals  
tend to use for their apps?

Cheers  
Scot

You’ll find there are about a million ways to skin a cat an do  
authentication - a great way is to use acts\_as\_authenticated. (also  
referred to as AAA sometimes).

Here’s a link to how to use it:
