Public bug reported:
Ubuntu needs a wizard that will be activated when Places -> Network
Servers is used to find another computer on the LAN. When a computer on
the LAN is connected to, a wizard should pop up, asking the user to
supply a username/password to log onto the remote computer. Once the
username/password combination is confirmed by the remote computer, the
individual has access to the visible folders on the remote computer.
This will mirror similar behavior seen when a user on a WinXP machine
browses the LAN and selects an OS X machine. Once the user on the WinXP
machine enters a username/password which is valid on the OS X machine,
he sees that username's folders on the OS X machine.
For usability reasons, the end user on Ubuntu should not have to delve
into config files. Instead the wizard should make the edits necessary
(using gksudo if necessary).
