Thanks for posting this! It's the sort of informative topic that probably won't generate a lot of commentary (as opposed to the the controversial type that does). But don't interpret quiet as a lack of interest - this is one of the reasons I scan hacker news. Actually, I'm looking for a more comprehensive way way to do authentication in Rails (that doesn't require as much manual intervention as I had to do last time), and this article definitely helped out.
