GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 350111
No option to change username in SSH window
Last modified: 2006-12-28 22:14:42 UTC
I am on a network with other mac computers. These mac computers have turned on ssh capabilities. If I go to Places->Network Servers I see a list of them. If I click on one there is a text entry for my password but not my username. I am assuming that nautilus thinks my username is the same as my linux box, but this is not the case. Without this I can't log into the mac using this method. Steps to reproduce. 1. Put your gnome box on a network with macs. 2. Turn on ssh for those macs. 3. Goto Places->Network Servers and click on the available mac server. 4. Notice you are unable to enter your username.

Thanks for your bug report! The problem is that SSH requires us to pass the user-name on the command line before invoking it. Maybe we should do it like in the FTP method, i.e. establish a connection after requesting login data instead of allocating it before and thus having selected a user.
