Only problem is that it only authenticates for the share if it can't connect as guest. So you can't get to your home directory on a samba server with a homes share but allowing guest access. It would be nice to be able to set a user-name and password before browsing a machine. And it would be nice if *all* password fields used password boxes, rather than having your password visible in the clear.
