Reading n writing object attributes

Hi. In this simple example I have a User class with the class method:

  def self.find_user(name)
    user = self.find(:first, :conditions => ["username = ?", name])
    # user.salt
  end

In the rails console I do the following:

>> u = User.find_user('kena')
=> #<User id: 5, username: "test", hashed_password:
"c1a18d933c06f5a3ebd8d1d155d294f39447fbf2", salt:
"177647700.129851651671097", email: "", created_at: "2008-10-28
00:54:42", updated_at: "2008-10-28 00:54:42">
>> u.salt
=> nil
>> u.username
=> nil

What I don't understand is why I can't access its attributes?
