Hi list.

I'm trying to use Nautilus to brows the company's windows file servers, but I 
couldn't find anyway to set the credentials to use for browsing - not per 
server/share and not globally. 
With Konqueror I can set a global credentials and then if that fails (or not 
set) Konqueror pops up a password dialog. Nautilus OTOH shows me the servers  
and when I try to access some where that requires credentials it simply fails 
with the error: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the 
contents of "Windows Network: <server name>", without asking for user name or 
password. the only way I got Nautilus to cooperate is by specifing my 
username in a URL to the full path name of the share in the "open location" 
dialog", and then I can only access that specific share. This might have been 
acceptable in older gnomes, but since 2.6 and the new "Spatial file 
browsing", the missing address bar makes this method far too dificult to use.

Can some one please tell me how to set the credentials for SMB browsing in 
Nautolus ?
