password problem

We have a problem with JDBC, clients on linux, connecting unless the password
is entered in lowercase.
Anyone got any ideas or heard of this before?
All was working fine until last week. We applied a instcat.sql upgrade to
our master database (from Microsoft suggestion for linked server connectivity
problem). After that upgrade, the only way we could connect is to set the
password in lower case and send the password in lowercase. On machines where
this wasn't applied, the case of the password doesn't matter.

Hi. It's clearly a DBMS upgrade issue. The driver just sends the password you
give it.
