Bug ID: 418417
Summary: KIO should poll NT1/SMB1 browse masters to discover
workgroup hosts
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: j.straight-...@straights.net
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I saw another post about this on phabricator, but nothing here.
https://phabricator.kde.org/D18878
I know that WSD discovery is coming for SMB2/3, but we're still going to have
broken SMB1, and I think it shouldn't be neglected, as there are still so many
devices that force admins to support SMB1, such as NAS, printers (or MFC's),
etc., and if you roam between networks that support 1 vs 2/3 then you've got to
change your smb.conf file all the time.
My suggestion is that kio attempts to poll browse masters with SMB1 if the min
proto is set to NT1, as opposed to how it now only does it if max proto is set
to NT1.
On the phabricator discussion, it a point was made that falling back to NT1 was
not preferable if it overrode the system admin's settings and introduced
possible insecurities of SMB1.
If the min proto is explicitly set to NT1, then that shouldn't be an issue.
Furthermore, that argument is moot anyway, considering a user can create a
~/.smb/smb.conf file which overrides the system-wide /etc/smb/smb.conf
configuration.
Thanks.
