GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 126297
SMB:// does not open Window's machine shares
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
I am not able to open any Window's share on my RH 9.0 machine. Versions of related components: nautilus-2.4.x (latest HEAD) gnome-vfs-extras-0.9.11 samba-3.0 I did the following: a) Start nautilus and type smb://m3-gnome-naren/ b) Nautilus throws up username/password dialog. After giving correct username/password, it throws up an error dialog "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "smb://m3-gnome-anju"." And I get the following messages on the commandline auth_fn called: server: m3-gnome-anju share: IPC$ wgroup WORKGROUP UNLOCK do_is_local(): smb://m3-gnome-anju do_is_local(): smb://m3-gnome-anju do_is_local(): smb://m3-gnome-anju do_is_local(): smb://m3-gnome-anju do_is_local(): smb://m3-gnome-anju Is there any extra samba configuration I need to do so that I can access the shares. Right now, I am just adding the correct work groupname to /etc/samba/smb.conf file, which is the smb default configuration file. Note: 1. I can mount the Window's share ("naren") from commandline to /mnt mount -t smbfs -o username=naren //m3-gnome-naren/naren /mnt 2. I could see the all the shares on the machine "m3-gnome-naren" using smbclient. smbclient -L //m3-gnome-naren -U=naren 3. Also I could user the smbclient prompt to access the shared files. smbclient \\\\m3-gnome-anju\\naren -U=naren
Moving smb bugs to gnome-vfs-extras
Moving back to gnome-vfs (the smb module has been moved there, gnome-vfs-extras is "dead").
Upping priority, this is an important problem, if I understand it correctly. [Possibly not, Alex, kick my ass if so.]
Please test with the smb in the 2.5.x version of gnome-vfs. This is much improved, especially wrt authentication.
Alex, thanks for the suggestion. I could not simulate the bug with nautilus-2.5.8, gnome-vfs-2.5.7 and samba-3.0.x version. Hence, closing the bug.
