7 <para>This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at
8 the real UNIX username, as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase
9 username. By default Samba tries all lowercase, followed by the
10 username with the first letter capitalized, and fails if the
11 username is not found on the UNIX machine.</para>
13 <para>If this parameter is set to non-zero the behavior changes.
14 This parameter is a number that specifies the number of uppercase
15 combinations to try while trying to determine the UNIX user name. The
16 higher the number the more combinations will be tried, but the slower
17 the discovery of usernames will be. Use this parameter when you have
18 strange usernames on your UNIX machine, such as <constant>AstrangeUser
21 <para>This parameter is needed only on UNIX systems that have case
22 sensitive usernames.</para>
