Description giulioo 2003-01-29 12:27:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Nautilus smb browser seems to list shares on smb servers by doing equivalent of
smbclient -L srv -U%   (anonymous login)

This is fine for win9x, however, winxp (home, and prof if not in simple security
and with guest enabled) doesn't like this, it wants you use a login name
(whatever you like, random)
smbclient -L srv -Ufoo%
or 
smbclient -L srv -Ufoo%bar
will do

I don't know if it would be convenient to use "guest" instead of "foo".
I tried and they both work.

Right now nautilus unnecessarily asks for a password to list winxp shares when
there's no password to input.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1.91-4

Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2003-02-17 10:39:52 UTC

Can you try this with gnome-vfs2-extras 0.99.10. I think this is fixed.

Comment 2 giulioo 2003-02-28 08:42:21 UTC

I tried 0.99.10-1 and problem is still there.
When you browse xp computers you are asked for user/pass, you then can type
whatever and are given access.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to
make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/)
for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the
'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update
support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006.

If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present
in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version
to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided.

If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that
Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December
31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may
be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be
closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a
security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your
help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
