Title: RedHat user/group names ?

I am new to RedHat systems and not very experienced with other linux distributions. Under our TurboLinux systems, we use some UPPERCASE group names and some MixedCase user names. This level of RedHat does not want me to use any UPPERCASE character in either user or group names. Is this just the way RedHat works or have I missed some configuration setting somewhere?

[root lnxrh00 etc]# groupadd SYSTEMS
groupadd: SYSTEMS is a not a valid group name
[root lnxrh00 etc]# useradd SysProg
useradd: invalid user name 'SysProg'
