Comment 220 for bug 207072

I have tested the gvfs and nautilus packages in hardy-proposed. Here are the problems I found (they are essentially the same described some time ago in the upstream bug report:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524485#c57

In virtualbox running ubuntu 8.04.2:

When the machine is not joined to an AD domain (LAB), opening the Network Servers icon puts me in network:///, showing the "Windows Network" icon.
Clicking on "Windows Network" I enter smb:/// but nautilus reports: 0 objects
Inserting manually smb://LAB/ in the location bar I am asked for a password and after inserting the credentials of a domain user I can access the list of the machines. Share browsing can be done without problems.

When the machine is joined to an AD domain (LAB) and I login as a local user the situation is as described above.

When the machine is joined to AD domain (LAB) and I login as a domain user (with kerberos ticket), opening the Network Servers icon puts me directly in smb://LAB. Share browsing can be done without problems (but this was also possible without the patched gvfs).

So, with the proposed packages there are problems in browsing the Windows Network (smb:///) with machines not joined to an AD domain or in the absence of kerberos tickets. From the normal user point of view, this situation is probably worse than before.
