The only thing I could think of is there might be "invisible" characters in the
user-name string - possibly a leading space before the user name. I
had a similar problem last week with a database query returning blank padded
fixed length fields for the password field.
Otherwise, the usual comments apply - please send us configuration files and
debug output demonstrating the problem, and we'll see what we can do.
