Rails - Jun 2006 - models @ data extraction

I''m building my first webapp...

I have db tables "users" and "posts". Model for user is
"has_many
:posts".  Model for post is "belongs_to :user"

In a slightly modified scaffold I can list all the posts and which user 
wrote them (/post/list), but want to link the username to a list of 
posts by that user.

How do I accomplish that?

Sorry for the newb question, but I''m a newb.

first make sure that Post "belongs_to :user"

#view app/app/views/name_of_your_controller_here/list.rhtml
<% @posts.each do |post| %>
  <p>
    <%=h post.body %> -
    <%= link_to post.user.username,
                :action => ''user_posts'',
                :id => post.user %>
  </p>
<% end %>

#controller
def user_posts
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
end

#view app/views/name_of_your_controller_here/user_posts.rhtml
<% @user.posts.each do |post| %>
  <p><%=h post.body %></p>
<% end %>
