+<description>
+ <para>This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at
+ the real UNIX username, as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase
+ username. By default Samba tries all lowercase, followed by the
+ username with the first letter capitalized, and fails if the
+ username is not found on the UNIX machine.</para>
+
+ <para>If this parameter is set to non-zero the behavior changes.
+ This parameter is a number that specifies the number of uppercase
+ combinations to try while trying to determine the UNIX user name. The
+ higher the number the more combinations will be tried, but the slower
+ the discovery of usernames will be. Use this parameter when you have
+ strange usernames on your UNIX machine, such as <constant>AstrangeUser
+ </constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>This parameter is needed only on UNIX systems that have case
+ sensitive usernames.</para>
