Exacte, és una "feature".
Ho he descobert llegint el UNIX-HATERS Handbook, diu:

  «Unix was designed before the days of
 CRT displays on the console. For many of us, the main input/output device
 was a 10-character/second, all uppercase teletype (advanced users had 30-
 character/second teletypes, with upper- and lowercase, both). Equipped
 with a paper tape reader, I hasten to add. No, those were the real days of
 computing. And those were the days of Unix. Look at Unix today: the rem-
 nants are still there. Try logging in with all capitals. Many Unix systems
 will still switch to an all-caps mode. Weird.»

Els que no podeu entrar és que probablement heu escrit la
contrassenya en majúscules :)
