--- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- For comparison: the way macOS handles this is by hiding the fact that the Samba serve's user account is completely independent of your own user account on the computer. It automatically creates a Samba server user with the same name as the currently logged-in user, then prompts the user to enter their own password, as though authenticating to something. In reality, the user is entering their current password as the password for the new Samba server user's account. This is clever, but non-ideal for the following reasons: - Sharing a password between your user account and Samba account is a security risk - If you change your user account's password, the Samba sharing user's password doesn't get updated automatically (or maybe it does now?) Either way we should probably prompt the user to enter a username/password combination when creating a share. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
