[Samba] login name - capital and lower case

[Peter Meyer]

Hello,

I am wordering how Samba treats the user/account name of a logged in
W95 and/or W9x Client?

I have the following problem:

We want to switch our file- and printer services from netware to
samba 2.2.5. The client need also to connect to a netwarebased
oracle db 7.x.

When I log in to Samba as PDC with capital letters in the username box I am
able to use the Software System which is based on the oracle db and
distinguish
user account with lower and capital letters.

But when I log in with small/lower letters to the samba PDC the oracle db
will not recognize me as a valid user!

With a MS Client for Netware Networks this problem does not appear. It seems
that Netware only handles capital letters. It doesn't matter if I log in
with small or capital letters.

Is it possible to tell samba or the windows client, "use only capital
letter"
to send to the oracle db??????? But allow both styls in the username box???
