Description of problem: Gnome-user-share creates an incorrect passwd file. Therefore you can not access the shared directory over network if full password protection is enabled. This may be related to localization (see below). I am using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-user-share-2.26.0-2.fc11.x86_64 httpd-2.2.11-8.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: (0. Switch to a non-english locale) 1. Enable sharing over network and set password protection to 'always' 2. Look up the used port, e.g. using 'ps x | grep httpd' 3. Try to connect, e.g. using 'cadaver dav://localhost:PORT/', and try to login with username 'guest' and the chosen password Actual results: [...] Authentication required for Please log in as the user guest on server `localhost': Username: guest Password: [...] Could not authenticate to server: rejected Digest challenge Expected results: Access to the shared directory Additional info: The log tells me: [error] [client ::1] Digest: user `guest' in realm `Please log in as the user guest' not found: / Content of ~/.config/user-share/passwd: guest:Bitte melden Sie sich als Gastbenutzer an:46f7b560a0cd0b8d96966ea30eb8b275 ==> This can not work while the realm does not match. A localization issue? If I recreate the passwd file using using the htdigest command $ htdigest -c /home/rat/.config/user-share/passwd \ 'Please log in as the user guest' guest the content of ~/.config/user-share/passwd is: guest:Please log in as the user guest:b5c3b4ba5f1b1b50baf6852eb150c29c ==> As you can see, the realm _and_ the password parts differ from the original entry. With the manually created passwd file I can login as expected.
Fixed upstream.
