i went back and looked at orig post.
he mentioned the @ character... not the other special char garbage
it fits the bill very nicely especially since admitting he is using radius
and your SQL solution works will work well too if "serious scale" is needed or if other special chars are needed...
remember, there were two competing threads. :-)
Yes. The main reasons for using a different backend like MySQL is that: - - You don't need to have local users, which improves control and security - - You can have multiple domains after @, each with a different group of users.
