Public bug reported:
When the windows and ubuntu user accounts have the same name nautilus
will try to use the ubuntu username and password when accessing a
windows share. Nautilus will then keep retrying the same username and
password even though it didn't work the first time. This causes my
account to be locked out.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an Ubuntu account and a samba account with the same username but
different passwords.
2. Set samba to lock out an account after 3 failed logins.
3. Attempt to access the samba share from nautilus. (File > Enter Location >
"smb://windows/share")
4. Nautilus displays a message that the path does not exist. The actual error
message, as seen in the wireshark logs, is that the account is locked out.
Workarounds
- Use smbclient, it will not attempt to use your ubuntu username and passward.
- Change one of the user names
- Use the same password for both accounts
