Hello everyone :


Is there any way to use usernames ( Login Names ) that have Uppercase
letters ? Acording with the man pages it may be only lowercase letters or
digits .

I have migrated users from a Windoze box, and all of them use capital
letters, but my FreeBSD 4.0 box does not recognize them ( It complains as if
the User were Unknown ). If I change one of them to only lowercase letters
it works, but I can not change all the usernames.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance


Richard Cotrina
