Joe was incorrect.
All DCE implementations I am aware of force the cell name to lower
case after reading it from the `dce_cf.db' config file.
Are there any plans to fix this in DCE 1.2?
This is a real show-stopper as far as any widespread use of DCE at MIT,
and I suspect at number of other sites as well, where backwards
compatibility and preserving the existing Kerberos database is consdered
important.
