Rails - Jun 2005 - Rails + phpBB integration (howto)

Hey all.  I have a Rails app in which I have successfully integrated
the users and sessions with my phpBB2 forums[1].  I thought I''d share
it here, since phpBB2 is so prevalent.

Basically, it allows for a Rails app to use the phpBB2 user base as
its own user base, and allows for using phpBB sessions for login
management.  This means the users only have to login once, regardless
of if they just want the rails app content, or the forums.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Matt
