However, passwords on UNIX systems often make use of mixed-case characters. This means that in order for a
user on a Windows 9x/Me client to connect to a Samba server using clear-text authentication, the
-<smbconfoption name="password level"/> must be set to the maximum number of uppercase letters that
-<emphasis>could</emphasis> appear in a password. Note that if the Server OS uses the traditional DES version
-of crypt(), a <smbconfoption name="password level"/> of 8 will result in case-insensitive passwords as seen
-from Windows users. This will also result in longer login times because Samba has to compute the permutations
-of the password string and try them one by one until a match is located (or all combinations fail).
+password must be in lower case.
