8i: User "system" was ok; now "SYSTEM" required?

I have just recently installed Oracle 8i for Linux on a RedHat 6.0 system.

When I first installed the database, via "dbassist", I could login to sqlplus as user "system" (ie in lower case).

I then changed the user "system" password using OEM 2.0.4 on NT. I couldn't login any more until I discovered user "SYSTEM" now works but user "system" does not.

What gives?

1. Is user name case dependent???
2. What might have changed (so I can change it BACK)???

Thanks
