I've got a system that I'm stuck supporting which was recently
upgraded from FC2 to FC6.  This system serves as a Samba (SMB) server
for a bunch of Windows boxes.  Since the upgrade, all attempts to
browse /home (or any of its subdirectories) fail with a permission
denied error.  In the samba log, the following appears:
'/home/bjohnston' does not exist or permission denied when connecting
to [bjohnston]
Error was Permission denied

Note, the FC6 system is using the same exact smb.conf as it was using
under FC2 when everything just worked.  This failure happens with
either authenticated browsing or unauthenticated browsing.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?


There are SELinux elements that you can adjust through system-config-securitylevel to allow /home directories and other factors to be accessible. The settings by default do not allow /home directories to be in the share. Look around for information regarding SELinux and SAMBA to see if you can set things according to preference. I found the interface in s-c-securitylevel pretty straightforward but there may be handy howto information out there.
