[Macpartners] [Mac-managers] 10.6.8 & Remote Desktop

[Aran M Parillo]

I've not seen that specific behavior but have a few machines that only let
me remote desktop/screen share if I use an ALL CAPS version of the user
name during authentication.  Lower case user name returns "authentication
failed" upper case user name (and same password) let's me through.

I can't recall what is specific about these machines that brought on the
behavior... Guessing though either a TC restore or an major os update.

My 2 cents of ARD wonkery.
