Rails - Nov 2004 - Password confirm field in activerecord

I''m trying to insert a user account into a database, and I have a 
password confirm field. I want to use the built in activerecord 
validation to test that password and password_confirm are the same, but 
I dont want to save password_confirm in the database. Anybody know the 
best way to do this?

Jeremy Kemper:

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
   attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation

   def validate
     errors.add(''password'', ''Password and
confirmation do not match'')
unless password_confirmation == password
   end

   def before_save
     self.password_sha1 = Digest::SHA1(password) if password
   end
end
