Does Oracle change the case of passwords when shipping to a standby db

OEL Linux 11.1.0.6
I have a orapwd file set up on both databases and have restarted the
databases since I re-created the orapw file. I can connect using
'sqlplus sys/password@tnsnames_alias as sysdba' between both nodes and
the sys password is the same on both nodes. However archived redo logs
files were not shipping across to the standby node and I was pulling my
hair out struggling to get it to work.
Error messages were :-

Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
------------------------------------------------------------
Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
returning error ORA-16191
------------------------------------------------------------
The passwords were lowercase on both nodes. In fact I was using a
cut'n'paste to create both password files, only replacing the node
name.
Eventually I fixed the problem by re-creating the password files on both
nodes (for the 3rd or 4th time) and restarting the databases. I added
the parameter ignorecase=y and everything sprung to life.
This gets me to think that the password was being translated to
uppercase when it came across to the remote node. I am happy to have
fixed my problem but I am bugged that it took me so long to figure it
out.
Anybody got any theories on case sensitivity using standby databases and
password files
Thanks
John
