Bug#285781: nautilus: Unable to mount SMB share, authentication fails

[Cliff Flood]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal


When attempting to mount an SMB share on a Windows server using nautilus
authentication fails. The user is asked for their password again and
again. The same share can be mounted manually from the command line or
using another file-browser shell app.
