Everything you have setup looks ok, i do it exactly like this to get the
users in a field so it's not exactly clear to me what's wrong.
I suppose you have enabled the AuthenticationMiddleware in the settings
as well as added django.contrib.auth & django.contrib.sessions to the apps ?
Also did you do a syncdb and check the Link table to verify that it has
a user field?
