Package: gvfs-backends Version: 1.4.1-6 Severity: important Before the latest 'gvfs-backends' it was possible to get a list of the Windows and Linux servers on the LAN that talked Samba/CIFS. The network is a peer network (no PDC). It used to be possible to click on 'Places', then 'Network' and 'Windows Network' and then the workgroup name. After this a list of the hosts belonging to the workgroup would be presented in the Nautilus window. Now, an authentication dialog pops up saying "Password required for <Workgroup Name>", with the gnome login name as the user name. No matter what combination of username and password I enter the dialog pops back up. The result is I can't see a list of the machines that are online. The old behavior can be emulated in text mode using 'smbtree' as follows: smbtree -S -N MBA \\DELL2800 \\DELL1520 \\ASUSB202 The authentication code was added to 'gvfsbackendsmbbrowse.c' but it seems to want a password for access to a specific server, not a workgroup:
