When we deployed winbind, we converted our mixed case NT accounts to lower case.
At that time, smb.conf setting was "password server = PDC" and
everything worked great.
Subsequently we changed the setting to "password server = *". and
discovered that the BDC remembers, somewhere, the old version of these PDC
accounts. "User Domains" on the BDC shows the correct lower-case
version -- but when winbind contacts the BDC, it's getting a different
answer.
The user is able to sign on with a lower-case login, eg, "username",
but their authenticated login is "USERNAME" instead of
"username". The upshifted id causes rlogin, among other things, to
fail.
Having no Windows expertise, I do not know how to troubleshoot what seems to be
a replication issue. I presume deleting and recreating the Windows accounts
will resolve the problem -- but I'm curious if anyone seen anything like
this before?
