Description Ole Reier Ulland 2010-05-11 05:34:15 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Mandriva Linux release 2010.0 (Official) for i586)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.13-desktop-1mnb

In earlier editions of Control Center it has been possible to push a button to give the root password and to then alter the settings in different tabs that required it. For System Settings - Advanced - Samba I can no longer find such a button, the entire page is only "faded". Some changes I have made directly in smb.conf, but this can not be the intention or what?
Comment 1 Ben Cooksley 2010-05-11 06:24:11 UTC 
There is a patch proposed for KDE 4.5 which will KAuth-ify this module and thus fix this.
Comment 2 Alessandro Nakamuta 2011-05-11 23:20:20 UTC 
It's happening to kde 4.6.3 too. The kcm_samba can ask the root password when the user don't have permission to modify smb.conf.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

I am not sure if KCM_SAMBA still exists in KDE 5+ ...It's been a while since I last tried, doesn't seem to be there anymore?

I have "smb" and "smbstatus". Are those different from the old "samba" one?

Yeah, it doesn't exist anymore. :(
