BTW: This looks like bug #26069 (in kde 2.x) which is marked RESOLVED?!

The question is basically: do you use samba 2 or samba 3 (i.e. is your kio_smb linked against libsmbclient or not)

I'm using samba 3 and kio_smb is linked against libsmbclient.

This is a VERY annoying bug indeed... I hope this will get fixed soon? :$

Thanks in advance!

The same issue with 3.2 final on Mandrake. I am browsing smb resorces using konqi and smb:/ Password is prompted all the time when browsing different directories on the same machine in the net (e.g. when going deeper and deeper into shares tree). It's critical to fix it ASAP (IMHO).

Same here with samba 3.0.2a and kio-smb-3.2.0-48926cl from Conectiva Linux snapshot. A simple refresh (F5) will make the password prompt appear again.

$ ldd /usr/lib/kde3/lib/kde3/kio_smb.so|grep smb
        libsmbclient.so.0 => /usr/lib/./libsmbclient.so.0 (0x4126a000)
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/./libsmbclient.so.0
libsmbclient0-3.0.2a-49421cl
