Hello.

Can anyone shed some light on why my logon password got it's upper and 
lower case characters reversed?  I needed the caps lock on then use the 
same password with the shift on the correct characters to log on.  I've 
since reset the password successfully and all is fine (so far) but I'd 
like to know what happened.  The only change I made was installing 
winbind, libnss-windbind and libpam-winbind but I don't find anything 
that explains the upper/lower case reversal on password entry.

A normal password change fixed the problem.

thanks,
tony
