>Description:
in the files 
kdenetwork-3.5.6/filesharing/advanced/kcm_sambaconf/kcmsambaconf.cpp and 
kdenetwork-3.5.6/filesharing/simple/filesharing.cpp there's a hard coded 
reference to "/etc/security/fileshare.conf" which can't exist on NetBSD because 
of the file /etc/security (in addition to the fact that it would be bad 
practice being outside of $PREFIX or $PKGSYSCONFDIR


>How-To-Repeat:
Install kdenetwork3, try to accomplish anything in KDE Control Center/Internet 
& Network/Samba, watch it forget as soon as you close it and return.
>Fix:
Quick and dirty: make the files reference 
"@PKGSYSCONFDIR@/security/fileshare.conf" with a quick patch


The "right" way: it should honor the sysconfdir set in the Makefile. A bug 
should be filed upstream in case they have a different plan for it.
