When I try to browse samba shares on my network the results are: 1) xffm succesfully finds the master browser: nmblookup -M -- - 2) also retrieves the domain name: nmblookup -A <master browser address> 3) and the server name: smbclient -N -L //<master browser name> MINOR PROBLEM: the only machine that shows up in xffm tree is the PDC even if the smbclient -L command shows all running smb servers if issued in a shell. At this point if I click the server name xffm thinks for a bit (running indicator in the left botton corner) and then stops and leaves the yellow mark saying "Loading..." in the samba tree. The other parts of Xffm are still working (even the SMB Network nodes) but if i click on the "Loading..." mark xffm closes down.
Additional information: I have installed xffm (in fact the whole xfce4) from CVS a couple of days ago. With xfce 4.0.2 the problem was similar but happened just after clicking on "SMB Network" (during nmblookup -M -- -) The Samba server is v2.8 Same problem trying to access true M$ Windows 2k shares.
if I run xffm from dbg I can see the following output : DBG: undefined error at smblookup.c (when I try to open the smb server node) and then if I click on the yellow "Loading..." mark : (xffm:23131): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gutils.c line 422 (g_path_get_basename): assertion `file_name != NULL' failed Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Does smb browsing for xffm version 4.0.3 work on your system? The "undefined error" indicates that the smb query terminated without a success or challenged status.
Yes, I've downloaded xffm 4.0.3 and it works ! By the way, the only permitted operation on smb share files is copying ? I can't even mount a smb share via xffm ? many thanks for your help.
Bug remains open since operations are different in 4.1 tree, and should be solved before 4.2 release. BTW, no smb mounting available except through fstab file with xffstab. I believe it is on the todo list for 4.2
I think this bug is due to fail trap timeout. Being set a 1 second, input could have been aborted. The delay for failure trap is now set at 5 seconds. Please try the current CVS HEAD of xffm to verify if bug is gone on your machine.
i've had the same problem, and i can confirm that it's gone now in current cvs (at least for me). keep up the good work!
