Yes if it could be done without people knowing it. If it were
configurable, it would be a feature :-)

If I didn't explain the problem well enough, then an example would work:
I just would like apache to assume that Jesper, JESPER, jesper, and so
on, was the same user
when matching up agaings the lists.

No. That would give me flexibillity in the names of the files
containing the user-list, not the
usernames.

I have got the mod_ntlm C-code, so if anyone could give me directions
on how to modify
the REMOTE_USER stuff from a C-apache module, then I could probably do
it that way.
