Comment:
Not precisely.  security=share means that it pays no attention to a user
name and normally does not require a password at all.  Think of it as
Windows 98 mode.

The real reason I feel like the behavior is wrong is because it does not
match the behavior of Windows.  If a windows client connects to a samba
server with security=share it will list all of it's shares without
prompting for a password.  If the windows client tries to connect to a
share that needs a password it will prompt for one.

It seems like nautilus is prompting for credentials before finding out
if it needs them.  I could be wrong, and I will double-check my samba
configuration and test against windows again as well.  If it turns out
nautilus is buggy in this respect I will reopen the bug.
