And, I would speculate, it wasn't the OS, it was whatever layered management tool you had on top; Linux has never cared whether login names had caps in them. Unix, in general, has always had *login programs* which would note an *all caps* login name, and turn on case folding with an obscure protocol for signifying real caps, but I strongly suspect current versions don't do that any more: it was an ASR-33 era thing, for terminals which couldn't do lowercase (gotta spell GOD'S name right[1]), and how many of *those* do you see anymore?
