Comment: Not precisely. security=share means that it pays no attention to a user name and normally does not require a password at all. Think of it as Windows 98 mode. The real reason I feel like the behavior is wrong is because it does not match the behavior of Windows. If a windows client connects to a samba server with security=share it will list all of it's shares without prompting for a password. If the windows client tries to connect to a share that needs a password it will prompt for one. It seems like nautilus is prompting for credentials before finding out if it needs them. I could be wrong, and I will double-check my samba configuration and test against windows again as well. If it turns out nautilus is buggy in this respect I will reopen the bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
