Yes and worth saying, but I never gave it much thought before, so I 
changed my realm line to:

     realm = samdom.example.com

testparm produced this amongst the output:

     realm = SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM

So it looks like Samba does uppercase the realm, but interestingly (and 
I have noticed this before) the 'idmap config' lines:

     idmap config SAMDOM

Become:

     idmap config samdom
