Well, don't I need to declare the habtm relationship in both the
models if I want to list students registered for a particular session
as well as list bid sessions a particular student has registered for
(to be used in a different context)?

OK ... and I can get the list of associated _users_ only (and not
bids) for a bid session using bind/unbind or Containable behavior,
right?

Yeah, my bad ... the documentation says so ... and of course the bake
script wouldn't know which fields I'd want ... but may be it can
default to the two FKs (since it knows this is a join table)?
I'll try re-running the bake script on a fresh "install" and see if it
picks up the associations properly.
I would like to have your opinion on the following points:
A. You'll notice that User--<Bid>--BidSession is a "through"
association, so I could use the "with" condition ... my question is,
will it be too confusing if I have multiple habtm associations between
the same two models? Anyway I'll try this and post what I find.
B. We authenticate logins against our Exchange server, so the users
table doesn't store any passwords ... how difficult is it to use the
Auth component in this setup? Am I better off writing my own
authentication routine?
Thanks a lot for your help!
