Bug Description

At work, there are two samba servers I need to connect to. One of the servers connects without issues, the other does not. Symptoms: error message
"This location could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “folder on server.domain.com”

The connection is made: an icon with an eject icon is visible in the left nautilus pane. The right nautilus pane remains empty.

I found the reason. The server is using ntml, and not ntmlv2. I can connect to the server with the command line using the option "sec=ntlm".

Similar to OSX, Ubuntu should also connect graphically without issues on these servers that still use an old security protocol.
