samba - Apr 2015 - Username issue with Samba 3.6.8

Hello,

I am currently running into a very weird issue and I was wondering if anyone
else has seen this before.

Samba 3.6.8 running on a Solaris 10u5 server.
The SAMBA share is accessed through Windows 7 clients.

A username with the word "power" can't connect. It gives an error
of "Invalid username and or bad password"
We modify the user account with different variations of his username using the
word "power" and it still gives the same error.

We remove the word "power" from his username and it works fine.

We use SAMBA 3.5.10 on a RHEL server and it accepts the username with
"power" in it with no issues.

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Thanks,

Matt

Sorry correction.
It's the combination of the letters WE.
