I was having some trouble this too my first time around, so I put
$c->log->debug( $c->user ) in just to see what the old user object
looked like anyway.  In case it helps, it seemed to contain a key for
the user table that contained my user/password info with subkeys named
after the fields they were stored in.  Only contained the primary key,
user and password fields though (even though more were available in
the table itself)

so my user table was named "user" and:

$c->user->user->user_id #my primary key field
$c->user->user->handle #my username field
$c->user->user->password #my password field

There is other stuff in the object, and Dumper will obviously reveal it all :-)
