[Samba] smb.conf realm parameter

[L.P.H. van Belle]

The exact answer is Yes and no.  :-) 

Not all software use CAPS in REALM, but there is software that expects CAPS. 
RFC is not really clear on it, so use CAPS for REALM.. then your never wrong. 

And to keep it even more clear. 

Its like this: 
hostname
NETBIOSNAME
WORKGROUP
REALM 
dnsdomain.tld
