Sebastien Bacher: We use an Ubuntu-server and ssh/sftp as a fileserver. Accessing (open and save) files thru the Gnome VFS-system works fine with "real" Gnome applications, but not with OpenOffice. (When OpenOffice tries to open or save files it starts a password dialogue which seems not to be connected with any Gnome underlying system, not the keyring system nor the Gnome open dialogue / ssh password dialogue. Trying to give userid and password does not do any good) This is an issue that is (for us) new after upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 on the client side. On server-side we still have Ubuntu 6.06 and Ubuntu 7.10.

Alfred_nutile: we have this configuration working at us and several customers using 7.04 and 7.10, but have had some problems in 7.10 with some client-computers that we upgraded from 7.04, after a reinstall it started working as it should.
