From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: If an smb share is a member of a workgroup that has a space in the name, then when browsing to it in nautilus and then attempting to open the share, it does not recognise it as a samba share and pops up a dialog box with the following error message: >The filename "CARL" indicates that this file is of type "(null)". The >contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Samba share". >If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your >system. >Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or >received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the >file to the correct extension for "Samba share", then open the file >normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific >application for the file. I have checked this with smb shares that do not have a space in the workgroup name and they work perfectly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Computer 2.Open Network 3.Open Windows Network 4.Open Workgroup with Space in Name 5.Attempt to open a share Actual Results: The above error dialog appeared Expected Results: The share should have opened Additional info:
Likely a gnome-vfs2 smb-method bug wrt escaping.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
No response from reporter for a year. There have been a lot of fixes with regards to escaping since this was reported. Not a security bug, closing per previous comment.
