Hi, I'm starting to migrate a few Fedora boxes over to the latest version of CentOS 5 running the latest version of samba: [~]# smbstatus Samba version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 However, I am having a hard time getting SELinux to permit the mounting of shares on the first CentOS box. Disabling SELinux permits the shares to mount without problem: [~]# setenforce 1 [~]# mount -t cifs //192.168.10.3/PHFiles /mnt/samba -o username=****,password=****,rw retrying with upper case share name mount error 6 = No such device or address [~]# setenforce 0 [~]# mount -t cifs //192.168.10.3/PHFiles /mnt/samba -o username=****,password=****,rw [~]# ls -la /mnt/samba/ total 8 d---rws---+ 6 samba samba 0 Feb 10 11:17 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 12 11:13 .. d---rws---+ 2 technology technology 0 Feb 10 11:14 Computing d---rws---+ 2 development development 0 Feb 10 11:17 Development d---rws---+ 2 root public 0 Feb 10 11:16 Marketing & Design d---rws---+ 2 root public 0 Feb 10 11:14 Public Computing [~]# umount /mnt/samba/ [~]# setenforce 1 Installed policy version is: selinux-policy.noarch 2.4.6-137.1.el5 selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 2.4.6-137.1.el5 The two shared directories are: [~]# ls -laZ /home/server1/PHFiles/ d---rws---+ samba samba system_u:object_r:samba_share_t . drwxr-xr-x root root root:object_r:user_home_dir_t .. d---rws---+ technology technology root:object_r:samba_share_t Computing d---rws---+ development development root:object_r:samba_share_t Development d---rws---+ root public root:object_r:samba_share_t Marketing & Design d---rws---+ root public root:object_r:samba_share_t Public Computing and [~]# ls -laZ /var/www/html d---rwsr-x+ development development system_u:object_r:public_content_rw_t . drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t .. ----rwxr-x+ development development root:object_r:public_content_rw_t .DS_Store d---rwsr-x+ development development root:object_r:public_content_rw_t private d---rwsr-x+ development development root:object_r:public_content_rw_t public (I am aware that my permissions seem a bit untraditional. I am running an experiment with extended ACL configuration on samba shares. However, I do not believe this to have any bearing on my present problems, as I have numerous other production servers running with these permissions under SELinux, and, again, turning SELinux off resolves my problems instantly.) The following has been executed with no apparent effect: setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1 The following have been executed with no apparent effect (so these have been turned back off): setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans=1 setsebool -P nmbd_disable_trans=1 I've added the new contexts to file_contexts, and executed 'restorecon -R' to the two shared directories: /home/server1/PHFiles(/.*)? -- system_u:object_r:samba_share_t /var/www/html(/.*)? -- system_u:object_r:public_content_rw_t setroubleshoot-server is installed, but no AVC denials are reported to /var/log/messages. Instead, when SELinux is enforcing, I get the error: smbd[11852]: '/home/server1/PHFiles' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [PHFiles] Error was Permission denied And, finally, I've rebooted. All to no avail. Any assistance would be much appreciated! -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
