Is there any documentation that describes the behaviour of the system when a
userid is entered in uppercase only?
When I type something at the login: prompt (getty), instead of a "Password:"
prompt, I get a "PASSWORD:" prompt, but I don't know the reason for any of
this...
If you (or anybody) could give me some hints, I'd appreciate it.
