OK. I know that the 'password'-related methods expect a sha1'd or
md5'd CHAR(40) field, and I thought that this corresponded with a
basic model definition somewhere.

Could you help me to understand what this craziness is? I think that
know what it does (expects the login() method in UsersController), but
I'd like to know _how_ it does it. "..." indicates omitted code.

class AuthComponent extends Object {
    ...
    function __setDefaults() {
    ...
    // This is the part that interests me
    $defaults = array(
        'loginAction' => Router::normalize(array(
            'controller'=> Inflector::underscore(Inflector::pluralize
($this->userModel)),
            'action' => 'login'
        )),
        ...
    );
    ...
}

Thanks,
Thomas
