You just don't get it, do you? It doesn't matter if you're running Samba or not. Kio will attempt to access those files which it is
Correct me if I'm being ignorant, but I don't remember seeing this message from 3.8 or 3.9 KDE binaries that I have used (from the CDs). Is it possible that a Samba install could change the configuration of KDE when compiled from ports? Or is it merely that I'm not installing one of the KDE components (from ports) that would look for samba in the first place? Dave mentioned in the past that he had intended to keep his KDE system up to date, since ports wasn't always on top of the current version. Could using a personal port of an updated KDE influence its configuration if samba was installed, or perhaps be configured to look for samba inadvertently? I guess I wouldn't be asking these questions if enough information was being provided by Dave regarding his question.
