Ruby on Rails

Thanks for your feedback Fred.

I should have added that I'm using very old Ruby (1.8.7) and Rails
(2.2.2) versions.

Also, I tried to make my example as simple as possible. In reality, it
is a little more complicated.

The error is that...

...if I invoke an action on the UserController which is implemented in
its base controller, even if the base controller has a before_filter
excluding auth_check to run for that action it will still be run unless
UserController explicitly excludes the auth_check from running for the
inherited action.

I've been debugging this and can see that the debugger first processes
BaseController.before_filter followed by UserController.before_filter
but I don't know how the filters are stored and chained. I think that is
where the problem is.

Pete
