Hi,
I think there was a bug with gnome-vfs-extras regarding SMB browsing -
it was asking for password too many times (if I remember correctly).
This doesn't answer your question but I would suggest upgrading to
latest stable gnome-vfs-extras version anyway to eliminate possibility
of a bug...

Thanks,
Gregory.

Subject: Nautilus SMB browsing


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 ?
