I am sharing my user home directories to other machines on my LAN using Samba. I have that all working correctly except for one persistent AVC that I keep seeing. Now this AVC is correct in that I really do not want my user's .ssh directories read over SMB so I'd quite like to keep that as-is. But... I get alerts for this all the time so I'd like to know how to add a dontaudit rule for it so that access is denied but I don't get told about it. Ideally I'd like to add a generic rule to catch all user's not have to add one dontaudit rule per user. Just don't have a clue where to start and google was not much use on this so would appreciate some help if anyone has done this before? SELinux is preventing samba (smbd) "getattr" to /home/$user/.ssh (sshd_key_t).
