On the one hand I'd say, yes build your own simple authentication system
to learn how it all works. However, if you are thinking this is going to
be easier to create than implementing OmniAuth I really think you'll be
disappointed.
OmniAuth is the easiest authentication system I've ever worked with.
If you want excellent, and detailed, help on how to set it up I'd highly
recommend Ryan Bates' screencasts on the subject:
