Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux The "Info Center" (kinfocenter) help text for the smb protocoll says that kio_smb is based on smbclient, and needs samba installed to work corretcly. I believe that this is wrong for kde 3.2, since kio_smb is supposed to use libsmbclient now.
well, there are still two of them ;(
I'd say we just need to change the text a bit, the rest should be ok. Can I do this in the 3.2 branch (it would actually be fixing a wrong text) ? I guess one day we will declare my ioslave obsolete... Bye Alex

It has problems with non-standard characters, and that's about it. Bye Alex
the bugs in it aren't my concern. The support nightmare is ;(
ok, now smbro was removed. So the text is indeed wrong now, but we will change it only after the message freeze runs out (i.e. KDE 4.0 :)
