I've migrated our samba server to FC5 and have selinux enforcing. I have the smbd_disable_trans boolean on. I just went to add a new PC to our domain and was not able to until I changed selinux to permissive. Below are the log messages.

How can I always leave enforcing on? Earlier, I sent an email indicating that the samba "net groupmap" command also is a problem with enforcing on.
