Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

When attempting to log in to a Samba share (a la "nautilus
smb://server/share") in Ubuntu 6.10, if one waits too long to log in, it
simply closes the log-in window and presents a new one.

Works fine in Ubuntu 5.10.

Not technically relevant but this caused me a headache to figure out.

A student came up to me and said "I can't get into my locker" (a Samba
share).

I sat and watched her carefully and painstakingly type all her
information into the log-in prompt, and it didn't work.

I typed it in, and it worked.

She typed it in very carefully as I watched and confirmed that she was
not making a single mistake, and it didn't work.

I typed it in, and it worked.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

My head literally hurt because it seemed impossible for me to replicate
her error until I adopted her way of typing very carefully and
painstakingly and realized that the significant variable was time.
