Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using hardy beta, when I browse with nautilus other machines in an Active 
Directory (ADS) network, some of them do not show their shared folders.
The ADS integration of the hardy box was done using winbind, kerberos and PAM 
libraries, essentially as described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
The network contains mostly windows clients, but also several linux boxes, 
which were joined to the ADS domain with the command: 'net ads join'.
Machines running windows XP, windows 2003 and samba show '0 objects' in 
nautilus, but after inserting the complete path (eg.: smb://server/share) the 
folders can be accessed after the password prompt.
Machines running windows 2000 show their folders regularly.
 
Here is a detailed description of what happens:

Case 1 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running ubuntu-gutsy server.

In a terminal window:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbclient -L gutsy-server
Password: (password inserted here)
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
 Sharename Type Comment
 --------- ---- -------
 IPC$ IPC IPC Service (gutsy-server (Samba 3.0.26a, Ubuntu))
 share Disk gutsy-server_share
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]

In Nautilus:

Open Network --> Double-click on the 'LAB' icon (Domain) --> All machines are 
displayed;
Double-click on the 'gutsy-server' icon --> after a while, Nautilus returns '0 
objects', without asking for a password;
Insert the full address (smb://gutsy-server/share) --> a password is requested 
and the share content is displayed.

Case 2 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running Windows XP

In a terminal window:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbclient -L XP-ACQ
Password: (password inserted here)
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
 Sharename Type Comment
 --------- ---- -------
 IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
 Data Disk
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

In Nautilus:

Same behaviour as in case 1.
smb://XP-ACQ --> '0 objects';
smb://XP-ACQ/Data --> content displayed after password.

Case 3 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running Windows 2000

In a terminal window:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbclient -L TF-2000
Password: (password inserted here)
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
 Sharename Type Comment
 --------- ---- -------
 IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
 Data Disk
Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

In Nautilus:

Open Network --> Double-click on the 'LAB' icon (Domain) --> All machines are 
displayed;
Double-click on the 'TF-2000' icon --> All the shared folders are displayed, 
without asking for a password;
Double-click on the 'Data' folder icon --> a password is requested and the 
content is displayed.
(This is the correct and the expected behaviour).


Using ubuntu-gutsy boxes, with exactly the same samba configuration (smb.conf), 
to browse the same machines I never observed Nautilus return '0 objects' as in 
case 1 and 2.
Such a behaviour in hardy will make a normal user think that browsing an ADS 
network does not work at all.

Nautilus in hardy does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS 
network.
