Probably because Rails 3 just came out and not everything's been updated yet. > Restful_authentication has several git > branches, none of which appear to result in a working installation. > All of them leave me with "could not find generator authenticated". Glad to hear it. restful_authentication is bad. Avoid.

It just means that you have a constant (usually a class name, but could be any constant) that the interpreter has never heard of. In this case, that means that it wasn't seeing the UserSessionController definition. There are people using Authlogic with Rails 3, I think.

Authlogic should work, from what I understand. Have you taken the time to understand the Rails framework and the Ruby language before getting plugins working?
