Re: DBIS - new IETF drafts

> UNIX is traditionally case sensitive.  I am currently working at a large installation where there is an important distinction between lower-case and upper-case user names.  This debate isn't just about user names anyway.  There are loads of NIS fields that were case sensitive, and UNIX isn't going to change.  They will always be case sensitive.  So trying to represent them in case insensitive fields is just, well, wrong.

Unfortunately once again this exists for historical reasons (mostly to do with Netscape's original internal deployment, if my memory serves me correctly). Obviously you can fix it with client-side schema mapping, but it's also good to have a schema to map to, agreed.
