The reason I proposed the changes I did is because you get this from a true W2K server: [stew@rs6000 failure]$ smbclient -L ays-w2k added interface ip=192.168.192.35 bcast=192.168.192.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.192.86 ( 192.168.192.86 ) Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[AYS] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment - --- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Server Comment ---- AYS-W2K WorkgroupMaster ---- AYS AYS-W2K AYSNET MOE But at the same time, I can browse "moe", which is an older samba server. So when the browse attempt returns "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED", we fall back to asking for authentication credentials. I never really thought about people using samba for Linux-Linux file sharing, but I suppose they do.

I am not sure if this is a samba-only feature, but here is a guest browsing the default samba setup: [bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ smbclient -L bgmilne added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.36 bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[CAE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.6pre2] Sharename Type Comment - --- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.6pre2) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.6pre2) xerox Printer hp2100 Printer hp1200 Printer dj970 Printer dj1120 Printer And here is an autheticated user broswing the same server: [bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ smbclient -L bgmilne -U bgmilne added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.36 bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[CAE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.6pre2] Sharename Type Comment - --- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.6pre2) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.6pre2) xerox Printer hp2100 Printer hp1200 Printer dj970 Printer dj1120 Printer bgmilneDisk Home Directories You will note the additional share available. It may *only* be a problem against samba servers, but there are lots of samba servers around.

The first I'm not sure how to handle. It should be falling back to asking for the username/password after guest browsing fails.

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.

For real use, use komba2 or linneighborhood, MCC doesn't support authentication (AFAIK)., don't know why it would hang though ... If you start mcc from the command-line (to see error messages)?
