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 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 1 month 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
