I think in earlier versions, I put modules into RAILS_ROOT/lib
I have a module that I extracted from activesambaldap to create a Windows Hash Password that I will need to use on occasion that looks something like this...
require 'openssl'
module Samba module Encrypt module_function def lm_hash(password, encoding=nil) dos_password = Private.convert_encoding("ISO-8859-1", encoding || "UTF-8", password.upcase) if dos_password.size > 14 warn("password is truncated to 14 characters") dos_password = dos_password[0, 14] end Private.encrypt_14characters(dos_password).unpack("C*").collect do |char| "%02X" % char end.join end ...
Can I just drop it in 'RAILS_ROOT' lib and require it when I need it?
