Removing characters from usernames

[Markus Krause]

I am doing this using the "attr_rewrite" module in radiusd.conf, i  
have the following section:

----
modules {
    ....
         attr_rewrite macaddress_rewrite {
                 attribute = User-Name
                 searchin = packet
                 searchfor = "-"
                 replacewith = ":"
                 new_attribute = no
                 append = no
         }
    ....
}
----

i call it just before the actual ldap-module i am using.

hth
   regards
     markus
