Thanks for your response. You are absolutely right, I agree with your
response, but we have this installed on windows server. Windows user
names are case-insensitive, and we are able login with different
username cases most of the time, but some usernames become case
sensitive, and openSSH explicitly requires specific username case. This
inconsistent behavior is causing us lot of problems. Is there a setting
in sshd-config or somewhere where we can specify all usernames to be
case-insensitive explicitly?
