Can you explain *why* you would want this? > like in openSUSE and Fedora. In my opinion, this isn't a good reason. Note that most tools are case insensitive, so for example, you can already log in with your username in any case you like: [bgmilne@tiger ~]$ id -un bgmilne [bgmilne@tiger ~]$ echo $USER bgmilne [bgmilne@tiger ~]$ ssh BGMILNE@localhost id -un bgmilne In most cases, what is displayed to the user in any situation where a friendly name is expected, the GECOS field, which is case sensitive and supports uppercase, is used. I really just don't see the point ... Regards, Buchan
