Hi,

When trying to find unnecessary calls to Get_Pwnam I found
out that the documentation for "username level" in smb.conf.5
is wrong (it isn't what is implemented in Get_Pwnam()).

This is my "bad English" attempt to "fix it".

 This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at the real UNIX username,
 as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase username. By default Samba
-tries all lowercase, followed by the username with the first letter
-capitalized, and fails if the username is not found on the UNIX
-machine.
+tries with the case that was given from the client, all lowercase,
+all uppercase, username with the first letter capitalized, username
+with the last letter capitalized and fails if the username is not
+found on the UNIX machine.
 
 If this parameter is set to non-zero the behavior changes. This
 parameter is a number that specifies the number of uppercase
