    Hi all,

    Not sure whether to turn to smb.conf, my pam config or
    somewhere else to sort his one. Some pointers would be
    appreciated.

    I've got my debian terminal server authenticating from
    an NT server. Very pleased. It's even creating home
    directories on the debian machine with pam mk_homedir.
    Great.

    Glitch... the debian box now allows logins as both
    JSMITH and jsmith, which is fine, except it sometimes
    creates /home/JSMITH and /home/jsmith as two
    *different* directories and the users say 'I logged in
    but can't find my work'. I'll have 600 hundred lower
    case accounts and probably eventually 600 duplicate
    upper case accounts!

    Can I restrict it to either or. Or let it know that it
    doesn't need to assign a new dir for JSMITH if jsmith
    already exists.

    I've googled and read samba and pam manual.
