This seems to be the place where the problem lies:

[150, 159] in 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-1.3.7/lib/authlogic/session/base.rb
   150        def credentials=(values)
   151          return if values.blank? || !values.is_a?(Hash)
   152          values.symbolize_keys!
   153          values.each do |field, value|
   154            next if value.blank?
=> 155            send("#{field}=", value)
   156          end
   157        end
   158
   159        # Resets everything, your errors, record, cookies, and 
session. Basically "logs out" a user.
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-1.3.7/lib/authlogic/session/base.rb:155
send("#{field}=", value)
(rdb:6) v l
  field => "username"
  value => "MYUSER"
  values => {"username"=>"MYUSER", "password"=>"mypassword", 
"remember_me"=>"0"}

   361
   362              attr_reader :#{login_field}
   363
=> 364              def #{login_field}=(value)
   365                self.authenticating_with = :password
   366                @#{login_field} = value
   367              end
   368
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-1.3.7/lib/authlogic/session/base.rb:364
def #{login_field}=(value)
(rdb:6) v l
  value => "MYUSER"

When the Session::Base code hits line 366 then the direct assignment of 
the @params value of the login_field to the corresponding instance value 
simply bypasses the setter defined in the User model, does it not?

Given this construction I cannot see a way to invoke the model's setter 
method for the login field.  Am I missing something?
