Hmm, Based on that I decided to try running kruiser as root before
changing any permissions. I su'ed and started kruiser from konsole, I
then logged in with my user name/password and it worked. Is this a
safer way?, my box is a server and I do have security concerns. I
gotta say those error messages are misleading cause you can login as
a regular user but you cannot view any shares.
