Problem with Merit realms and Rlogin users

Summary: Rlogin fails because user@realm.name is passed to rlogind.

I'm running a slightly tweaked version of Merit RADIUS (2.4.16...I know,
I should upgrade). I need to start using realms, 'cause we're gonna
share some modems with another ISP. Works fine for PPP logins, but
if a realm is used for a shell login, the portmaster passes
'user@realm.name' to rlogind.

Have I broken something in the Merit code? Is/can the RADIUS response
(be) used to change the username on the Portmaster/NAS so that rlogin
gets the correct argument?

Otherwise, I don't know how realms could ever be used in an environment
that allows shell logins.

T.I.A.....
