Rails - May 2006 - Can I find what time the current session was created?

I want to get the time at which the current session was created.  It
doesn''t have to be exact - I''m not worried about the fact that
a user
may not actually be on, yet the session is still active.  I''d just
like to be able to do
session.created_at

With the Active Record session store and a created_at timestamp  
column on the sessions table:
   session.model.created_at

hrm I tried that, but it''s always nil.  I''m guessing that
Rails
doesn''t manage created_at since Session isn''t actually an AR
model.

*5 minutes later*

I just set the default to be NOW() and it''s working fine.  Had to use
a custom execute statement though since the postgresql adapter is
funky with setting default to NOW().  It''d be nice if I could get
Rails to manage the created_at field for me somehow.
