Thanks for the tip, but that just changes the password for the lower case user 'sue' . I still cannot add a user named 'Sue' with upper case first letter.

Subject: Usernames with UPPER case

Help,
  I am trying to set up samba.  I need to incorporate a
raft of users with mixed case in their username.  Linux will
not allow be to do this.  Is this an absolute - do I need to
have all Winx users change their usernames or am I just hosed?

  I have tried to enter the user as lower case, e.g. 'sue'
and then 'usermod -l sue Sue' but I get an error saying that
 'Sue' does not exist.

Helpful hints, pointers appreciated.


Try the following:

echo <user_password> | passwd --stdin <user_name>
