Public bug reported:
I think I have finally tracked down the most irritating problem I have
had under Feisty so far. Several times a day my network password has
been getting revoked since upgrading. Today I ran wireshark and
searched through the packet dump. I found several SMB ACCESS_DENIED and
ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT messages within the output. The messages were coming
from multiple servers I had originally entered into the Places->Connect
to Server option as Windows Shares under Edgy. It appears that the
system is attempting to connect to these servers even though I have not
clicked the icons or made any attempt to use those shares. There is
never a password prompt so I do not know what password it is attempting
to use, but it must be using the correct user id. I have removed all
passwords from my keyring that specify my network user id.
When my account got locked out this morning, I only saw an SMB handshake
with one ACCESS_DENIED message followed shortly by ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT to
only one server within the 10 minute period I was monitoring. Shortly
after firing up wireshark, I verified my password was working. Before
stopping wireshark, I verified my account was locked out. As far as I
have been able to discover, these SMB packets are causing my network id
to get revoked.
After seeing these messages I unmounted all of the network shares I had
mapped, but have not rebooted since and the messages continue to appear
so it must still be attempting to connect to those severs.
