Description Mark Slade 2006-08-31 10:11:53 UTC 
If smbpasswd already has an entry for UsEr, then smbpasswd -a uSeR with a new password will overwrite the UsEr entry rather than creating a new one for uSeR.

Demonstrated:
[root@err samba]# cat smbpasswd

Mark,  This is by design since Windows usernames are case insensitive.
