Yes, the bug is still in the released version and it's even worse: it doesn't matter what "msdfs proxy" is set to (yes/no), as long as the variable is present, the problems persists. Only commenting out the line resolves the problem. I can reproduce the gui's behaviour every time I go into the "more samba options" of Konqueror's file sharing interface (folder right-click, options, share, configure file sharing (enter root pwd), add or choose share & edit, more samba options, change something and change it back, ok, ok, ok, ok).

Now do a smbclient //localhost/[SHARE] and see the bug.

cat /etc/samba/smb.conf and see "msdfs proxy = no" added to the [SHARE] that was edited.
Remove the line "msdfs proxy = no" from this [SHARE], restart samba and retry the smbclient connection, it will succeed now.
The localhost connection is just to prove the problem, it is the same when connecting from another (edgy) machine.

So the title of this bug should read: samba OR KDE's samba gui is boken in feisty 7.04

I don't know if this is the same problem as in 90950, there is no windows machine nor any other machine involved in my (test) setup.
