Description Alexander Larsson 2003-08-05 14:57:36 UTC
When i go to smb:/// on my small network with to linux/samba machines i get
a password dialog when enumerating the network. This shouldn't really be
necessary.
Comment 1 Joe Drew 2003-10-22 02:40:47 UTC
This is specific to the new version 0.99.11, and wasn't present in
0.99.8 (at least). This makes using smb:// urls basically useless.
Comment 2 Egle K. 2003-10-25 20:38:54 UTC
It seems, that gnome-vfs-extras ver. 0.99.11 does contain this bug
only, then compiled (and used) with libsmbclient version 3.0

At first I installed libsmbclient and libsmbclient-dev version
2.2.3a-12.3 (from debian security updates) and compiled
gnome-vfs-extras then this bug didn't apear, but the bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105714 appeared.
After I installed libsmbclient and libsmbclient-dev version 3.0,
recompiled gnome-vfs-extras and restarted nautilus (with killall
nautilus) this bug appeared and then I installed libsmbclient and
libsmbclient-dev version 2.2.3a-12.3 again and after recompiling
gnome-vfs-extras (and restarting nautilus again) I got this error when
trying to go to smb:/// location:

Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "smb:///".

So, it seems there are lots of problems when using gnome-vfs-extras
with different libsmbclient versions on same computer.

*** Bug 127373 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Mantas Kriaučiūnas 2003-12-15 22:24:40 UTC
Now gnome-vfs-extras package is useless for most users :(

I think priority and severity of this bug should be increased, because
gnome-vfs-extras libraries are useless while this bug exist.

Btw, when developers are planing to fix this bug ?

When you pay us loads of money.
Comment 7 Alexander Larsson 2004-01-13 14:10:27 UTC
all fixed in latest version of gnome-vfs-extras, and now also merged
into gnome-vfs.
