Thanks for the tremendous feedback so far, I appreciate it! I hope this is not bad form, but I would like to answer my own question, but then I have more questions. The error below shows that Samba SMB service could not access 'home' which turns out to be /home.

System #ls -ldZ /home
drwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:home_root_t    /home

For some reason smbd_t cannot access home_root_t. So I did a chcon on /home which fixed the problem. My question is, by fixing the error have I made Samba more insecure, was this a bug, is there something I could do instead?

chcon system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t /home

Thanks!
