Sebastien, Here is the steps that I did: 1/ Verify that /etc/samba/sbm.conf has the line: security=user 2/ Create a share on my folder /home/myname/Public. I right licked on the folder and select Sharing Options and then check the box "Share this folder" 3/ Go to another computer that has Hardy desktop installed. Open Nautilus and hit Ctrl-L to enter smb://samba-host-ip 4/ I will get a password dialog and after entering proper username and password, I will get access to the Public share as expected. 5/ Now unmount this samba share. 6/ Go to the samba server computer and edit the smb.conf file to change to "security = share", then "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" 7/ Go back to the Hardy desktop computer and enter the same "smb://samba-host-ip" this time you will get an empty window, no share listed. But if you enter "smb://samba-host-ip/Public" then you will get the password dialog. 8/ Enter the proper password dialog here and you will get the "Failed to mount..." error dialog.
Hope this help you recreate the problem. I am sure hope to have this bug resolved soon! Let me know if you need more info.
