Bug Description

Just after setup the new ubuntu breezy on my laptop, I want to view samba shares
on my network.
I'm cliking on "Shortcut->Networking servers".(or "Raccourcis->Serveurs réseaux"
in french ;) )

New window of nautilus is opening and a login window appear to ask me login,
domain, and password on yannux@my_local_ip

___________________________________________________
| usernam : yannux (my username, default)
| Domain : MSHOME (default)
| password : ________ (empty)

[]Remember password
[]Keep password in keyring

                        [x Cancel] [Connect]
---------------------------------------------------

If I put my unix login/password the window is reshowing
If I click "Annuler" no computer of my network is listed

If I delete Nom d'utilisateur (my unix user per default), the computer list of
my network appear
(just my second laptop, not my samba server file)(not very important).

So I'm asking myself if this behavior is "good", because nautilus ask something
that is not needed at first sight...:s
And why asking login & password to list computer of the network ?

After some discution on irc, sombody told me to put share mode on
/etc/samba/smb.conf and restart the samba service, well I did on smb.conf, but
no service to restart :s anywhere ! Ok just samba-common package is install so
we must install samba package. This samba package is setup at first time when we
want to share a directory.

Finally I think it's bad to ask login & password if they don't really needed,
perhaps a forget somewhere in config or setup package ?

(Sorry if my english is bad, I'm french ;))

I saw this happening aswell, nautilus asked me for the password and did show me
an IP of another laptop on the local network (no server at all or anything). If
you try to login, you loose (no list at all), if you hit cancel, you may get the
the windows network list (or not, depends on your luck or state of the moon or
whatever). So be sure to click cancel in this cases. I mean, why would you give
your pass for anything you didn't click yourself?
