there''s a brazillion solutions, but a good place to start might be the
login
engine:

http://www.rails-engines.org/login_engine

then in your controller code you can auth against the logged-in user:

if session[:user].id == some_object.owner_id
  # do stuff
end

Thanks a lot for those tips. Redcloth seems great.

And that idea for checking the session is great. I still need to get into
the programming mindset, I didn''t get too far with PHP.
