This sounds like a Winbind issue - usernames on Unix are case sensitive, 
therefore Winbind *must* check the case of users.  If it is using 
Windows case rules for login then it is broken.

cvsnt is behaving correctly in this case.  It has no way of knowing that 
Username is the same user as USERNAME because on Unix it is perfectly 
valid to have both.
