I was thinking of that too.
The server is running centOS (which IS case sensitive like any *NIX I know).
Is that a common know problem with these setup or Do I have to test that
with an extra dummy-user.

I'd normally expected the system to respond with a loginfail in the case
that the user "noob" tries to log in with the name "Noob" (like it would
happen for a linux login).
Or is that impossible for reasons like horde running on an OS, which
doesn't work case-sensitive?
