While I think it's a bad idea, one option would be to look for
any capital letters in the loginid, and if present, automatically
create an additional loginid with the uppercase translated to
lowercase with the same UID/GID, for compatibility with things
like postfix.
Of course that would require rejecting the creation of the loginid
if the lowercase version would be a duplicate.
