<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="USERNAMELEVEL"/>username level (G)</term>
		<listitem><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>Default: <command moreinfo="none">username level = 0</command></para>
		<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">username level = 5</command></para>
