smb io_slave authentication popup never works

I have the same problem, I solved it by going to the kde control center and
entering a default smb username and password. I've have weird problems with this
in other distros (KDE 3.3 in Gentoo), so it might be upstream with KDE. I'm also
running amd64, so its not related to x86.

Is this still a problem with KDE 3.5.x ?

Is this bug still present in the latest Dapper packages?

If it is not, or if someone knows that this bug has been fixed by a subsequent upload, please let us know so we can close this. The last activity on this bug was over a year ago.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

I'm on kubuntu dapper, and I've related problem with smb authentification to browse shared directory on a AD network.
All works fine with smbclient, but it's not possible with konqueror. I've tried with an empty user account with several addresses :
 - smb://server/directory
 - smb://user@server/directory
 - smb://user:password@server/directory
But it doesn't work.

Maybe related ?

if its active directory are you specifying the domain in your login?

DOMAIN\username

the correct way to do this with AD is either NETBIOS_DOMAIN_NAME\user or user@DNS_DOMAIN_NAME.
For example toto\amercatante or <email address hidden>

It works perfectly this way (as it is supposed to) on both dapper and edgy.
I already did this on breezy too, and it also worked.

Thank you very much Kenny and Anthony !
It works like a charm. But I think it's not very intuitive …
