how do i copy User-Name to something else?

what i ended up doing (it's not super pretty, but works) is using Hints 
and if prefix == "host"  (as machines auth as host/blahblah) then i set 
a new attribute called domain and use that for the auth, and if i get a 
real domain as the prefix i just assign that as the attribute 
domain...not pretty but it works.
