My organization (NUBIC) used to use rubycas-client, but we ran into some 
inconsistent behavior. (Unfortunately, I can't remember the details right now, 
but my memory is that had something to do with proxy tickets.) We wrote our own 
client, Castanet[1]. You can use it on its own, but (e.g.) doesn't have any 
automatic Rails or Rack integration itself.

You can use it in a friendlier environment via Aker[2], which is our Ruby/Rack 
authentication framework. It has native CAS support (including proxying, for 
both the server and client roles), among other things. If you're working with a 
Rails app, you'll want to look at Aker-Rails[3] for easy integration with that 
framework.

NUBIC has many ruby apps using CAS for authentication, so I'd be happy to try 
to answer any general questions, too.
