Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages I filled in the settings in the "Local Network Browsing" section, in particular, the default username, password and workgroup for the samba client. then I browse to smb:\\server\share and I get prompted for username password. I enter my username and password, and that fails too. I enter for my username "workgroup\username", something I rememberd from my MS admin days, and it works. Great! Ecept, then I browse to \\anotherserver\anothershare and I have to enter my credentials all over again. kio_smb should be using the credentials entered in the config utility.
I agree. kio_smb should use the credentials entered in the config utility. see also my comments on bug 107599
KDE 3 is no longer maintained. Feel free to reopen the ticket if the problem is still applicable in the current stable KDE 4 version. Thank you for your report.
