On a decent server, my experience has been that the load 
is actually small for password server = 4.  I say small in comparison
to performance. The UPPER casing of passwords is simply a Windows 9x 
client issue and there is no way of getting around it.  

Of course, other posts have already mentioned the possibility 
of using password encryption, but you rpelied this was not an 
option.




Sorry for the bad news,
