What you mean with "comes installed out of the box" ? , should be
install , I not mean that is , as default in KDE-desktop, it is a great
tool, you mean be default or yum install smb4k is enough ?

With smb4k you can change the defaults, and choose other kind of
authentications, for example I need an old authentication to access a
NAS server with a old Samba (which can't change it).  
I will try debug it :) but perhaps just can do the tests Monday
afternoon .

Many thanks,
