It may be relevant that I am using empty passwords, so that the url looks like this:
smb://user:@host/shared-printer This is correct syntax for a blank password, and it works (that is, works when the problem described hasn't occurred), but the problem may derive from this string being a border case for parsing the url. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
