Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs After using the system-config application to edit any settings in smb.conf, my smb.conf gets broken. 'file://' gets injected. Here is an example diff: # diff /etc/samba/smb.conf{-working,-b0rked} 89c89 < log file = /var/log/samba/log.%2525m --- > log file = file:///var/log/samba/log.%252525m 227,230c227,230 < smb passwd file = /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd < pid directory = /var/run < lock directory = /var/lib/samba < private dir = /var/lib/samba/private --- > smb passwd file = file:///var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd > pid directory = file:///var/run > lock directory = file:///var/lib/samba > private dir = file:///var/lib/samba/private This makes it so samba cannot start.

SVN commit 998002 by cfeck: Do not save local URLs in smb.conf with file:// prefix (backport r998000) Fix will be in KDE 4.3.0 Can someone who uses Samba with KDE please check if the fix solves this bug and close it? I do not have Samba installed to test. CCBUG: 200436 M +1 -1 dictmanager.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=998002
