you can''t create a user over the database, because LoginGenerater uses
a salt.
Have a look at your login-model, there is sth like this:

  # Please change the salt to something else,
  # Every application should use a different one
  @@salt = ''something''

So you have to create an accout via signup, then the salt is included.

On thing that helped me with logins and understanding the
salting/encryption:

''tail'' (monitor the end of) the log\development.log file. 
Tail on *nix is a
command, in windows you can tell radrails to tail the file, or just open the
file & look at the end.

Look for lines like:
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Edit",
"action"=>"update", "id"=>"2",
"controller"=>"agents",
"agent"=>{"name"=>"John",
"phones"=>"Cell:
123\r\nWork: 466d",
"password"=>"3624818282751adcb57f715c54bde0f1fe117534"}}

if you see Parameters: {"commit"=>"Sign in",
"action"=>"login",
"controller"=>"agents",
"password"=>"secret",
"agent"=>"soso"}

then you aren''t doing something to the password to encrypt it.

comment it out, you don''t need this. Instead write
 redirect_to :action => ''list''
or sth like this.
