I can confirm this. I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 in a really large coprorate network with over 100 separate domains and hundreds of thousands machines. It takes me nearly 15 minutes to cancel a constant stream of auth popups. Switching from SMB to another network printer protocol in between two popups doesn't do anything. They just keep coming.
