How do you log out of a SMB share in Dolphin? (sh.itjust.works)

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 don't use Dolphin or KDE, but based on this:

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/smb-remembered-passwords-from-dolphin-where-are-they-stored/169315

It sounds like it might be adding your credentials to KDE's KWalletManager, and that's what's letting it use the credentials again. You might open that up and try deleting said credentials.

Don't they have eject button on the side bar entry?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Actually no unless you mount them with like, fstab.

I found the solution: Disable SMB and use NFS. Mods: Lock thread plz.

Do you have a beginner/dummies guide to seeing up NFS shares? I'm using SMB too but would rather use NFS

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

So far, the For Dummies version is "turn NFS on for the shared folder in your NAS, then go to nfs://your-nas.local/path/to/shared/folder in your file manager.

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
