The K Desktop Environment

4.3. Setting up Scan/Mount

4.3.1. Samba

Here you must setup your sambaversion you can find it out by typing "smbmount" in terminal. If you have a newer version try the latest.

4.3.2. Scanning

Here you can say what Komba2 shall do if a new workgroup or host is found. Scan every workgroup which will be found means after a new workgroup is found the master of the workgroup will be scanned. Scan every host which will be found detects all samba shares on the remote host. Use it carefull. It can make much traffic and popups many passworddialogs if you have don't have accounts on them.

If you don't want to be asked for a password while scanning check the button don't ask for password. If you mount or unmount a share the passworddialog will popup with checked button too.

4.3.3. Display

At the moment komba supports only disk shares. You can show or hide other shares. show $ shares shows all hidden diskshares. In windows all shares ends with $ are hidden. show printer shows printers. There is no support for them but you can display them. show ipc shares Usually disabled, only for testing.

4.3.4. Mount

The mountpath you can set here is the default mountpath. Be sure you have permissions to this path. Unmount all connections on exit will unmount all mounted shares in view mounted. Komba2 can't differentiate between user-mounted and mounted shares before start, yet. It unmounts ALL smbfs-mounts. Let it unchecked if you don't know what I mean. Remount all on next start Remember all shares which unmounted on last exit. Komba2 will search on them and mount it if any is found.

4.3.5. Password

You can store password (and username, too) in Komba2's configurationfile.Komba2 use a very low encryption. (copied from kmail, thanks to the authors) The configurationfile is read/write only for owner by default but you must know that it is a risk to store your passwords! If you store them all your passwords are in one file! save by default makes only the option save in passworddialog checked by default. In passworddialog you say if the password will be stored.
