I was only replying to the question about LDAP.  If your getpwnam()
calls are also case insensitive (in the case of using nss_ldap),
the yes the entire thing is case insensitive.  However, if you are using
the standard nss_files distributed with Linux and man UNIX variants,
then it will be a case sensitive match.

Follow me?
