[RFE] SMB portions of gnome-vfs-extras should retain authentication data across apps
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-vfs-extras Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.2.2 0.2.0-5.ximian.6.4 os_details: Ximian, Inc. Synopsis: [RFE] SMB portions of gnome-vfs-extras should retain authentication data across apps Bugzilla-Product: gnome-vfs-extras Bugzilla-Component: smb Description: Hello - I love the SMB browsing portions of gnome-vfs... however, it would be very nice for convenience and polish if gnome-vfs' SMB portions maintained a current cache of authentication/authorization data given... for example, if I use Nautilus to browse another computer over SMB, as soon as I try to access that computer, I have to enter my username and password... once authenticated once, Nautilus remembers that data for the rest of the session... but it seems silly that when I try to open a file from Nautilus into OO.o (Ximian's version) that I would have to type in that authentication information again (actually, twice... a bug I've filed with Ximian)... or that I can't open a text file in gEdit over SMB because gEdit isn't able to access that authentication data to open the file and possesses no means of asking me for it (I've also filed a bug against gEdit for this)... Thanks! -jag ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2003-06-30 16:26 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, alexl@redhat.com.
Setting severity to enhancement, but marking as new. Because it sounds like a "cosmetic bugs of particularly high visibility", I'm going to mark priority as high; feel free to let me know if that's not right. Adding the GNOMEVER2.2 and bugsquad keywords too.
