Thanks for the forward...what I don't understand is this part of the 
message:

Apparently an earlier attempt to always remove the enforced
canonicalization to lower case had been rejected.

How could doing something that would make samba more MS compatible be
rejected?  I mean Ms has been doing it for ~14 years, and they haven't 
rolled
over and died yet.... Why didn't (or shouldn't) samba follow suit BECAUSE
of MS compatibility (case insensitive but preserving)?

One would think patches and change for increased compatibility wouldn't be
such a problem -- at least not at this level.

sigh.
