In the Username field type GUEST 4) Navigate to a share and press Enter. Notice how long it takes to load the listing 5) Go to a .tar.gz file and hit Enter -> MC will crash This problem is caused by the fact that smbfs uses a pool of active connections which are uniquely identified by their hostname, username and sharename. When no user is specified in the url, but in the ""Password for"" dialog and this name is different from the current login name, smbfs thinks that we are trying to connect to the remote machine with the current login name. This confuses smbfs and it doesn't notice that there is a valid connection which can be reused - the result is that smbfs opens a new connection each time it needs to issue a command to the samba server.
