Restful Authentication has the notion of current_user, does it not? 
Check in the authenticated_system.rb file in lib for a peek at some 
methods you have available to you.

There's no need to know  the current_user's id in the links controller's 
new action, that just needs to manufacture an @link for the new.html.erb 
form.

You will need it for the create action in the links controller though. 
Something like:

def create
  @link = Link.new(params[:link])
  if logged_in?
    @link.user_id = current_user.id
    if @link.save
      redirect_to(@link)
    else
      render :action => 'new'
    end
  else
    # redirect to your login page?
    # I'd actually defend this method with a before_filter, and get
    # rid of this if logged_in? stuff
  end
end
