How to login to domain shares using kongueror Suse10
Whenever I try to log into domain shares I cannot login using kongueror. It asks for username and password but does not ask for the domain.

Not sure, but try DOMAIN\username as username. Also, see in KDE Control Center, Internet & Network, Local Network Browsing

For my domain, where my SUSE laptop isn't authenticated as part of the domain, I use the following syntax (I have bookmarks setup.) For my XP hard drive, I do this: smb://is_dom1\a9984@259.264.228.299/c$/ That follows the convention, domain\user@machine/share For other shares, I can use the qualified domain names... smb://is_dom1\a9984@isd-tcafm01/fmworks_install smb://fm\a9984@fm-pdc1/fm_common smb://hr\a9984@ssg-sqlserver01/ssginstalls HTH!

Evidently you have properly set up the Windows domain/workgroup in Samba, or I don't think you'd get this far. You are probably trying to log into a drive that can only be accessed with a defined user account. These Windows shares are typically drive letters followed by a dollar sign, eg C$. For these, you must have a valid user account on the Windows system (or if both the Windows and Linux systems are part of a NT domain, a valid NT domain user account). You have to set up public shares in Windows to be able to log in without username/password. In XP, right click on the drive you want to share, select properties/shares, and enable sharing in the appropriate box. (Exact procedure may vary between Windows versions.) Give it whatever share name you want, so long at it is not a drive letter plus dollar sign combination.

I have a SambaPDC set up and on the File server I need to authenticate as a domain member. Windows systems work fine. Until recently the only desktops we used were RH based and they all use nautilus. Nautilus asks for the Username, Domain, Password. Kongueror only asks for the Username and password. When this happens in windows Username: Domain\User1 Password: ******** works, but in Kongueror it doesn't. Nautilus works fine Suse except there is no simple/logical way for a standard user to browse the network. You have to open nautilus and click Go--> location and then enter smb://DOMAIN. For people fluent in networking this isn't a problem, but if they are coming from windows this will drive them nuts. Currently this is the only hold up in starting to deploy Suse as a desktop. I have another thread going which request help in getting nautilus to open links on the desktop. Currently it defaults to kongueror. If I can get nautilus to open links, then I can create a link to smb://DOMAIN and the user can browse the network and when they open a File Share it prompts them for the User, domain, password. This I can work with or at least I think the users can.

When you set up your Samba client in Yast, did you also click the box "Also use SMB information for Linux authentication"?

This is also a problem in Konqueror; however, you can create a folder in the navigation panel pointing to smb://DOMAIN.

There also appears to be something broken when you switch over to GNOME and use nautilus. I can see Computer in the Domain, but when I click on one of the computers I get the error message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The filename "FILESERVER" indicates that this file is of the type "desktop configuration file". The contents of the file indicate that hte file is of type "x-diretory/smb-share". If you open this file the file might present a security risk to the system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file form trusted source. To open the file rename the file to the current extension for "x-directory/smb-share", then open the file normally. Alternateively, use Open With menu to choose specific application for the file. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could not find where it got the extension or how to change the extension association.
