I’ve got a NAS. I’ve got a Music folder on the NAS. I’ve shared it with SMB.
I’ve got two users on the NAS, an admin account with read and write, and a guest account with only read privileges.
I used Dolphin on a KDE box, I clicked Network > Shared Folders (SMB) > The_NAS > Music. It threw a login window, I logged in as the admin.
How the fuck do I log back out to switch to the guest account? I know SMB is Microsoft’s doing so it’s pure weapons-grade gonorrhea but…why is this extremely obvious usability feature missing?
I found the solution: Disable SMB and use NFS. Mods: Lock thread plz.
I was going to suggest NFS; it has better user management. It’s also a lot faster, but that doesn’t normally matter for home networks.
As for the original question; other forums came to the conclusion that dolphin SMB share management is bad and to just use a different tool if you need to switch users. https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=60527
Do you have a beginner/dummies guide to seeing up NFS shares? I’m using SMB too but would rather use NFS
