Samba can't access dir - SELinux problem?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I was using CentOS 5.5 as a "playground" VM at my WinXP notebook
and now I'm migrating to a new CentOS 5.6 install
and everything has worked well - except samba.

I have this very permissive config to export my ~/src dir:

# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
guest ok        = yes
guest account   = afarber
security        = share
hosts allow     = 172.16.6. 127.0.0.1

[src]
path = /home/afarber/src
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

But in the new install it has stopped working and prints:

# tail /var/log/samba/smbd.log
[2011/04/25 01:36:37, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1013)
  '/home/afarber/src' does not exist or permission denied when
   connecting to [src] Error was Permission denied

I've checked permissions and installed rpms -
 they're all the same
(and smbd runs as "root", doesn't it?)

Is this maybe a SELinux setting problem?

# tail /var/log/audit/audit.log (only at the new VM)
type=AVC msg=audit(1303720863.712:53): avc:  denied  { search } for
pid=6737 comm="smbd" name="/" dev=sda3 ino=2

tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=dir

comm="smbd" exe="/usr/sbin/smbd" subj=user_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0
key=(null)

# ls -aldZ /home/afarber/src  (same result at both old and new VMs)
drwxrwxr-x  afarber afarber user_u:object_r:user_home_t      /home/afarber/src

# ls -aldZ /home/afarber/
drwx------  afarber afarber user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t  /home/afarber/

Does anybody please know a magic command here?

Thank you
Alex
