Hello, my first open source commit (attempt!).
I've been using everyauth for a few weeks now and it's been quite useful!
While using the password authentication scheme, I still wanted to be able to pull information about the user. However, none of the information that was automatically retrieved from the other authentication schemes (ex, I tested with Twitter) was accessible.
Upon reading the source I found that the sessions .userId was being hard set to an expected user.id (or apparently in a later push, a configurable primary key).
Here was my solution to the problem anyway- if the user is available, we should push all the fields we have into the session. (In my case, I chose to exclude the 'salt' and 'hash' fields for my users passwords, this should probably be set up to be an configurable exclusions list).

…sion (sans salt and hash fields). This is instead of having a hard-coded .userId field and having only it and .loggedIn be returned.

I've barely started with node.js, but this patch seems to make a lot of sense to me.
