You have been subscribed to a public bug: Symptoms of this bug can be seen when attempting to browse the network:// in either konqueror or nautilus, so the bug may not be in either package. It appears to be the same bug posted here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/cant-browse- network-by-workgroup-name-in-konqueror-623178/ Basically, goes something like this: When browsing network:/// in nautilus, can browse up to WIndows Network, and then get the message: "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: ... " When browsing network folders in konqueror, it will time out (fast!) This may have something to do with samba configuration file. Switching from " hosts allow = 192.168.10.0/24 192.168.138.0/24 172.16.235.0/24 eth0" to "interfaces = eth0 vmnet1 vmnet8" caused different symptoms: Nautilus now shows an empty network of 0 items when double-clicking on the Windows network, but konqueror works as it should, no problems. Finally, this configuration: "hosts allow = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.10.0/24 eth0" causes konqueror to display this message: "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be caused by an enabled firewall.", but Nautilus still shows an empty network of 0 items and no error message. Just to be thorough, I took down my firewall (The only way I could get a firewall to work with samba this time around was to take a ShoreWall firewall and heavily customize it). Konqueror worked (so my firewall probably didn't like 127.0.0.1), but it didn't change an empty network of 0 items in nautilus. I went back to my original installed file. It appears that commenting out both the "interface" settings and the "host allow" settings causes both Nautilus and Konqueror to work as expected. ... Unless Samba is doing away with those settings, however, it's probably still a bug. I don't know if this a security vulnerability, but it definitely affects a security mechanism in Samba. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- network:/// can't be browsed, ubuntu 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
