ptloader with ldap and unixhirachyseperator enabled are NOT WORKING properly together

[Michael Karrer]

Hello List,

I tryed to use ptloader with ldap - wich basically works fine but since 
i use "unixhirachysep: 1"
my "." get replaced by "^"  sometimes in the ptloader chain?!?

So no problem with authentication because the server simply asks 
salsauthd to authenticate m.karrer (uid=%u)  via salsauthd with pam
But then ptloader tryes to authorize the user "m^karrer" wich is 
unfortunatly wrong because the user is still "m.karrer" just the mailbox 
is because of the "." limitation called user/m^karrer !!!

Is this a bug or am i missing something here?!?

Why "m^karrer" at all?!? It should always be "m.karrer"?!?

Thanks for any help!
