Description fleona 2004-05-17 20:46:09 UTC

Version:           3.2.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-52-default

I have got a mixed lan and smb:// works with windows machines but it doesn't work with my mac, i get an empty window probably because the mac is denying access, because it is expecting for konqueror to supply an username and password. Windows shares can be accessed fine.

it will always try anonymous login and if that succeeds, it won't give an error. If you want to login, use smb://username@machine - or specify a default
user name in the kcontrol module.

What happens if you access your mac from your windows?

Comment 2 fleona 2004-05-18 03:04:52 UTC

When accesing the mac from windows i get a login/password request as expected. I fill it and then i get my files.

I will try doing smb://username:password@machine and report back, but as an user i expect user friendlyness (getting the dialog)

Comment 3 fleona 2004-05-19 01:07:04 UTC

i had to do smb://machine/share in order to be asked the password. Macs by default only share the home directory of the user and somehow konqueror cannot get a password dialog to see what shares are available.

smbclient will NOT show the share unless i pass the password. So i guess konqueror is showing blank since it isn't using one. Now, what events trigger if a password is asked? Perhaps konqueror tries by default an anonymous login and since the mac doesn't reject it (but shows nothing) then this is what it's happening.

So, maybe not a bug. Should konqueror always ask for a password?

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-19 11:51:05 UTC

No, it shouldn't. I kind of would like to know what windows and MacOS talk, do you have another computer on the same lan you could use to do a tcpdump (please do not attach it here, but send it to me - it might contain your password in clear text)

Comment 5 fleona 2004-05-19 17:41:54 UTC

I dont have another machine, but the mac comes with tcpdump, just tell me what i need to do with it and i will email it to you

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-24 10:52:23 UTC

"tcpdump -w file" should be enough

KDE 3 is no longer maintained. Feel free to reopen if this is still an issue with the latest version of KDE 4.
