[Opensim-users] Fw: Load OAR --default-user

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Load oar does not convert the given names to lowercase and I was able just now to create two user accounts of the same 
name but with different casing.

When you do load oar, are you doing --default-user "Joe Bloggs"?  The quotes are critical so that the full name is 
passed as the --default-user argument and not just Joe.
