Hi,

I’m working with the latest version of Ruby on Rails. I’m intrigued  
by this “login\_generator” extension ([http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/)  
pages/LoginGenerator), but when I try to install it on my FC6 Linux  
system, I get this error:

[me@mydomain]~/w/easyrx% gem install login\_generator  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException)  
Could not find login\_generator (\> 0) in any repository  
[me@mydomain]~/w/easyrx%

How do I find it?

Thanks, - Dave

Hi Dave,

It may be worth taking a look at  
[http://railslodge.com/plugins/75-restful-authentication](http://railslodge.com/plugins/75-restful-authentication) instead.

FYI: as scott said…

Many generators are out of date.

Restful Authentication is the current login generator that is popular.  
It creates users and sessions. There is a lot of info on this if you  
google it.

Some of the old login generators are Salted, Sugar, and  
Acts\_As\_Authenticated.
