Description of problem: When connecting to a samba server from nautilus using the uri smb://server/share an auth window pops up, asking for credentials. This authentication window has a warning message that says "Your password will be transmitted unencrypted" however this can't be the case as the connection succeeds and that would not have happened with clear-text password. Also, having skimmed the code, the cli_session_setup() function that appears to be handling the setup of this deviceless connection has a password field as well as an NTpassword fiels, which suggests to me that one is used for clear-text and one for encrypted passwords. I'm not a samba developer and i only skimmed the code as i got worried because of the dialog... So tell me, isn't the password actually encrypted during this or what? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter smb://server_name/share_name and hit enter in nautilus 2. watch the screen carefully :) Actual results: displays an auth dialog with a warning on it Expected results: displays an auth dialog without a warning on it Additional info:
The message is completely unrelated to what is going on in reality. See upstream bugzilla for this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119175
