Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

When logging in with Konqueror and sftp using kdewalletmanager, konqueror first attempts a login with the local username (and frankly I don't know which password), and only when it fails attempts a login using the credential given by the wallet manager. This leads to invalid login attempts being logged on the remote machine, and thus may cause problems with tools like fail2ban (http://www.fail2ban.org/). The resulting log can be clearly seen in the remote machine's logfile.

Good morning,

I am working on cleaning up bugs and noticed this has not been worked on. I am wondering if you are still having problems with SFTP:// not working correctly in konqueror? I use sftp:// without any problems on my Intrepid system. Could you please update the status of this bug and if you are still having problems include the version of Kubuntu and the version of KDE you are using?
Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi,
  I have tried again but the bug seems to have disappeared in my current
configuration (kde 3.5.9 on Hardy). I have updated some packages in the
meantime, I am not sure what did the trick. I think the bug can be
closed, thanks a lot for your help and interest.
