Note that my original problem was fixed when I sent in this patch:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-July/036575.html
That said, I still think it would be useful to flatten usernames to
lowercase in some cases.

Andrew and I spoke about this briefly on IRC last week
while debugging a different winbindd bug. It would be
a pretty trivial change but one that would have a
large impact on existing sites I think.
So the question is how many installations will break if
winbindd all of a sudden starts lower casing usernames?
If I can be adequate feedback on this, we'll consider
making the change.
