Comment 84 for bug 209520

Sebastien,

Here is the steps that I did:
1/ Verify that /etc/samba/sbm.conf has the line: security=user
2/ Create a share on my folder /home/myname/Public. I right licked on
the folder and select Sharing Options and then check the box "Share this
folder"
3/ Go to another computer that has Hardy desktop installed. Open
Nautilus and hit Ctrl-L to enter smb://samba-host-ip
4/ I will get a password dialog and after entering proper username and
password, I will get access to the Public share as expected.
5/ Now unmount this samba share.
6/ Go to the samba server computer and edit the smb.conf file to change
to "security = share", then "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart"
7/ Go back to the Hardy desktop computer and enter the same
"smb://samba-host-ip" this time you will get an empty window, no share
listed. But if you enter "smb://samba-host-ip/Public" then you will get
the password dialog.
8/ Enter the proper password dialog here and you will get the "Failed to
mount..." error dialog.

Hope this help you recreate the problem. I am sure hope to have this bug
resolved soon! Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,
