yes, check the configuration files for the prefix part. 
are you using 1.1.x or 2.0.x? if 1.1.x you can
also you the rewrite module to copy User-Name to Stripped-User-Name
and then blow away the DOMAIN\\ part - or any preceeding STUFF\\
if you use 2.0.x then use unlang to do the same job efficiently
when and where you need it.
