Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I just updated Ubuntu 8.04.
  Whenever I make a connection to the Window share, I got this error dialog: 

  Unable to mount location
  Failed to mount Windows share

  With and OK button.

  ProblemType: Bug
  Architecture: i386
  Date: Sun Mar 30 21:19:59 2008
  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
  ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus
  NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
  Package: nautilus 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu1
  PackageArchitecture: i386
  ProcEnviron:
   PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
   LANG=en_US.UTF-8
   SHELL=/bin/bash
  SourcePackage: nautilus
  Uname: Linux 2.6.24-12-generic i686

  TEST CASE:

  1) install the samba package
  2) configure 'security = share' and 'lanman auth = yes' in the [globals] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
  3) add a user account to the server (e.g., with 'sudo adduser user')
  4) set a password for this (insecure!) account with 'sudo smbpasswd user'
  5) add a share which points to this user, e.g.:
    [user]
          comment = Test share
          path = /home/user
          writable = yes
          guest ok = no
          user = user
  6) with the hardy version of the libsmbclient package installed, test the following:
    a) smbclient //localhost/user
          should return
       Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
       Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client use lanman auth' is disabled
    b) nautilus smb://localhost/user
          should prompt for a password, and, even when entered correctly, return
       Couldn't display "smb://localhost/user"
       Error: Failed to mount Windows share
       Please select another viewer and try again.
  7) install the libsmbclient package from hardy-proposed
  8) both of the above two tests should now succeed
  9) set 'client lanman auth = no' in /etc/samba/smb.conf
  10) confirm that both of the above tests again fail when the config is overridden
