Hugh and Mike helped me out a lot, as did other people on the list,
when I was trying to do this and other things. So here are a whole
bunch of tricks that might help you:
# Strip leading white space
RewriteUsername s/^\s+//
# Strip trailin white space
RewriteUsername s/\s+$//
# turn into lowercase and chop domain
RewriteUsername tr/A-Z/a-z/
RewriteUsername s/^([^@]+).*/$1/
# strip any leading characters if a \ is present
RewriteUsername s/^.*\\(.*)/$1/
This takes care of removing white, normalizing to lowercase, chopping
off realms, and removing MYDOMAIN\ from the front of the NT users
that lack clue and specify a domain in the dialup box.
On a Linux box that is pokey (233 MHz) this leaves lots of room for
authenticating thousands of users per day despite the large number of
Rewrites
