My question is how does > gnome-vfs2 (or Nautilus) establish the name of the machines? GnomeVFS2 is deprecated. Recent versions of Nautilus will be using GIO. In that case, nautilus will simply be calling "g_mount_get_name" along with g_mount_get_uuid () and g_mount_get_icon. /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0.0.0 libglib2.0-0 > For > example, I've just fired up Nautilus and pointed it at network:/// and > it's showing me a whole bunch of machines that are sharing their > resources through one method or another. How does Nautilus establish > the names of the hosts? Nautilus isn't establishing anything, it's down to the services themselves declaring user input strings. You could have a look at the glib source code for the details. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
