Re: [netatalk-admins] Problem with passwd case

[Dylan Adams]

If I remember correctly, Netatalk enforces appletalk's case insensitive 
user names by downcasing the username entered in the chooser before 
comparing it to those in /etc/passwd.It was disscussed a while ago on the 
list. Thread starts

There's a patch to remove the downcasing code a few messages down.
