I have a dual boot F8/XP machine and I want to export, via samba, the NTFS partition so that I can use it to back up my wife's Vista machine. It seems that selinux is preventing this from happening. Here is the summary message from setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing the samba daemon from serving r/o local files to remote clients. and the Allowing Access section says: If you want to export file systems using samba you need to turn on the samba_export_all_ro boolean: "setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1". The following command will allow this access:setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1 There seems to be 2 problems here; 1) The filesystem that I'm trying to export is read-write not read-only and 2) I have already set samba_export_all_ro=1. In fact I also set samba_export_all_rw=1 and I even set samba_run_unconfined=1 and I still get the same messages. Here is the filesystem I'm trying to export: # cat /etc/fstab | grep ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/c_drive ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0 # ls -lZ /mnt drwxrwxrwx root root system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 c_drive Here is the /etc/samba/smb.conf stanza: [Kellie] comment = Winblows backup path = /mnt/c_drive writable = yes browseable = yes valid users = Kellie User Kellie can see the Kellie share from her Vista computer but whenever she tries to use it, I get an AVC. # rpm -qa | grep selinux libselinux-python-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-devel-3.0.8-109.fc8 libselinux-devel-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-3.0.8-109.fc8 libselinux-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-109.fc8 # uname -sr Linux 2.6.25.10-47.fc8 I suppose I could go back to permissive mode but I'd like to get this to work. Any suggestion? Thanks, Steve -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
