Bug 78864

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
We have a small windows network, I've changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf
to include wins in the hosts: section, other than that, a default RH 8.0

If I type smb://hostname in the URL bar, it will display the shares on 
that computer, entering a share pops up a authentication dialog. Entering a
valid username/password doesn't help, the dialog just keeps popping up.
However if I enter smb://ausername:thepassword@hostname, it still pops up the
autentication dialog, but now entering the ausername and thepassword here also,
it works. I can brovse the shared folder/subfolders, copy files etc.

To bad with such an annoying(minor I guess) bug, Nautilus is about the only
valid alternative for normal users to reach windows shares.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start nautilus. enter smb://ahost for browsing a host, enter a share
2. If any authentication is needed, the auth dialog pops up.
3. Enter a valid usernam/password


Actual Results:  The auth dialog just reappears

Expected Results:  Succesfully authenticated for the rest of the session

Additional info:

If it means anything, we have a NT 4.0 PDC, and the workstations I'm trying to
access are win2k/XP machines.
