Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba

When attempting to connect to a Samba share in Ubuntu 6.10, the Domain field is filled in as "WORKGROUP", regardless of what is entered as "workgroup" in /etc/samba/smb.conf

In Ubuntu 5.10, this works correctly, filling in the workgroup variable under the Domain field.

I forgot to mention: I mean when trying to connect in nautilus a la "nautilus smb://server/share"

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This is not related to samba. Reassigning to nautilus package.

What dialog do you speak about? Did you try to run gconf-editor and change the /system/smb/workgroup key?

No, I haven't.

This variable is set in /etc/samba/smb.conf, and it works as it should under Dapper and Feisty.

in what version of Ubuntu do you have the issue if it works in feisty? How do you notice the workgroup used? from what dialog are you speaking about?

As per the bug report, the issue was "in Ubuntu 6.10" (Edgy), in the dialog that pops up "when attempting to connect to a Samba share".

The fast way to replicate this is to hit Alt-F2 to bring up the "Run Application" dialog, and type "smb://server/share".

Alternately, you can through Places -> Connect to Server

closing the bug since it's fixed in feisty and we don't intend to investigate this issue for edgy, which is not a LTS version, since that's a minor one

I can understand that reasoning.

Hope you have a great day!
