Before i file a bug, i want to ask the crowd.. :)
When attaching a CIFS network share with the KDE/dolphin tools (knetattach?) i can specify the server, the sharename but i am unable to specifiy a user.
I will attach a german screenshot of the dialog box.
Do you experience the same problem? My CIFS server is requiring authentication.
Under "System Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Windows Shares, you can set the default username/password to be used for network browsing and mounting CIFS filesystems.
I think it will also prompt you for a username/password if you browse to a share that requires authentication (e.g. via Dolphin). That's how it always worked for me, anyway.
In my Samba configuration i have set "guest ok = yes" for this specific share. KDE automatically connects with this guest account, without asking for credentials. Thanks for the tipp with the default username/password. Thanks Alex
