I don't think that's necessarily it, unless all the people seeing this
have a misconfigured Kerberos setup (which seems unlikely).

I tried upgrading gvfs to version 1.50.1 (which includes !138) and I cannot
connect successfully to a Samba share that allows anonymous access, logging
in as ANONYMOUS.

Workaround: I *can* connect successfully to a share that allows guest
access with an arbitrary username and a non-empty password (I used
"aaa", which is not my password on the server). This seems consistent
with upstream bug 619, which does not yet have a known solution.
