Hi members,

I have a problem with the name of hosts. Here is the situation: I have an LDAP Directory which is filled by samba-Deamon, for example with hosts that are added to my domain. Samba signs every host-account with a "$" at the end. If my laptop would be named christian, the entry created by SaMBa in LDAP is "christian$"

More recent versions of FreeRadius have an option in the mschap module to handle this - you can do: filter = "(uid=%{mschap:User-Name:-%{User-Name}})" ...and the mschap module will strip the host/foo.bar to give foo$
