Hi,

I'm currently experimenting with Samba on a few sandbox machines.

On the server side, I have setup CentOS 7 with a basic Samba setup and two shares, one public, the other password-protected.

I have two Windows 7 boxes in my network, and I can access the shares perfectly, log in to the password-protected share, read and write files, so this seems to work OK.

On my main Linux workstation (CentOS 7 + custom GNOME) I can't seem to access these shares. When I click on the "Parcourir le réseau" ("Browse network") icon in GNOME, Nautilus opens and shows a "Réseau Windows" ("Windows network") icon. Clicking on this icon, I only get the following error message: "Impossible d'accéder à l'emplacement". Unable to access this place.

So I fire up GNOME Terminal and see what this looks like on the command line :

[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ smbclient -L //amandine -N Anonymous login successful

Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Public Disk Partage Public Confidentiel Disk Partage Confidentiel IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE) Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing. Anonymous login successful

Server Comment --------- -------

Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP AMANDINE

So far, so good. Now I try to connect as a user:

[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ smbclient //amandine/Confidentiel -U kikinovak Enter SAMBA\kikinovak's password: Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: > dir . D 0 Fri Oct 19 09:45:37 2018 ..

This also looks good. Now let's check what Samba-related packages are installed on my workstation:

[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-libs-4.7.1-6.el7.x86_64 samba-client-4.7.1-6.el7.x86_64 samba-common-4.7.1-6.el7.noarch samba-common-libs-4.7.1-6.el7.x86_64 [kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ rpm -qa | grep gvfs gvfs-mtp-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-smb-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-afp-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-client-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-archive-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-goa-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-fuse-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-gphoto2-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64 gvfs-afc-1.30.4-5.el7.x86_64

Any idea what's missing here or why this doesn't work as expected ?

Cheers from the sunny South of France,
