Hi,

I'm running KDE5 and I have a problem accessing Windows shares from the network with Dolphin. Dolphin is asking for a user/password although no user is required to list the shares.

smbclient works fine:
~> smbclient --version
Version 4.4.5-3678-SUSE-oS13.3-x86_64
~> smbclient -N -L //windows_host/
OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        ADMIN$          Disk      Remoteverwaltung
[...]
OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

This only happens when I try to access a Windows host. Linux host with Samba running work fine.

Let me know, if you need any additional information.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Sadly this is a "feature" in Samba. It always asks, even for anonymous shares. :(
