<DIV></DIV>Hey Noah!
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I have many samba shares that I can access with nautilus. Have you tried specifying the UID=USER when you mount the share? How is samba configured?

<DIV></DIV>I am running nautilus 2.7.4, gnome-vfs 2.7.91, and gnome-vfs-extras 2.7.91 and
<DIV></DIV>everything works pretty well except for accessing Samba shares. The problem is
<DIV></DIV>that I need to authenticate for every file in a share. For example, if a folder
<DIV></DIV>has 10 items in it, I need to authenticate 11 times (the folder and all items)
<DIV></DIV>before I can see anything. The authentication doesn't seem to get stored
<DIV></DIV>anywhere.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I guess that this has to do with the lack of mime-types that ship with the dev
<DIV></DIV>release, but I may be wrong. Does anyone have this working properly? If so, how
<DIV></DIV>did you do it? Alternately, any recommendations where I can look for help. The
<DIV></DIV>gnomedesktop forums are fairly useless. I imagine that I should join a gnome
<DIV></DIV>mailing list, but don't know which one.
<DIV></DIV>
