[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#505452: Bug#505452: samba: Usernames lovercase not working

[Martin Šín]

I am not sure,
computer lab is very new and there is some specific hardware for
physics study, so there are an old computers with Windows 98. It was
one of the first lessons in this classroom.

Yes, I have "lanman auth = yes" in smb.conf file, and I have tried login
into network - everything looks good. I can login without any errors,
another teacher and newly created user x200680 too, but for these 16
students it was impossible.

There was "NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD" error in samba log file, so maybe
very long password (I don't think so), some type of "non-standard"
char in password, incompatibility between windows xp settings of
password (with Ctrl-Alt-Del and Change password dialog on windows XP
client) and windows 98... I am not sure, I must try this...

Thanks,
Martin Sin.
