I'm sure someone here will help you out.  I've not had much experience with
Samba but if it's anything like the rest of Linux, I'd say that usernames
may be case sensitive like they are when you log onto a Linux box?  I can't
verify this though.

Apart from that it'll probably be something that Linux/ Samba could handle
quite easily I'd suspect.
