Bug ID: 374128
Summary: Accessing an smb:// fails by showing the
authentication dialog again
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.28.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Background
----------
I would like to setup a shared folder for the local home network. I use
openSUSE 42.1 and Plasma 5.28.0. To test the setup I try to access the
configured share from the same machine.
Using dolphin
-------------
I enter smb://user1@localhost/myfolder/ into the address bar and the
authentication dialog appears. I enter username and password and the dialog
appears again. On the console where I started dolphin there is no further
explanation for this error. Then I get the message "Access denied to...".
How to track down the error?
----------------------------
To find the root cause of this error I tried to mount the samba share via
command line:
```
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o user=user1 //127.0.0.1/myfolder
/home/user1/tmp/mntsmbtest/
Password for user1@//127.0.0.1/myfolder: *****
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
```
As recommended here
(https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Windows_Freigabe_unter_Linux_mounten) I
used the cifs filesystem instead of smbfs.
The "Input/output error" I got is described here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/cifs-mount-error-5-%3D-input-output-error-but-smbfs-works-456897/
One solution there is to use sec=ntml but this does not work (because I do not
connect to a windows host but to my own openSuSE host where I didn't configure
anything special)
How would you start to track down the root cause of the problem?
Is using a Samba share even the recommended way of sharing a folder in the
local network nowadays?
