Hello all, When I get a SEL alert it refers only to to the actual directory and not the full pathname. For example: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/smbd from create access on the directory 05. The advice for fixing this alert is probably useful but without knowing the full path is actually completely useless: If you want to allow smbd to have create access on the 05 directory Then you need to change the label on '05' Do # semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t '05' # restorecon -v '05' The problem is - I don't know where directory "05" is. It's probably some temporary cache file or some such and trying to even find its parent directory with a name like "05" makes using 'locate' or 'find' really quite hard work. In this case the alert(s) (there were several - each with a different numerical directory name) were actually caused when I tried to sync my iPhone using iTunes installed on a Windows XP virtual machine running under VirtualBox on this Fedora 16 host, accessing the music library via a Samba share on a separate partition on the Fedora 16 box.... Yeah... I know.... But anyway - if I could find the full path of the directory in question I *might* be able to take a closer look at where the problem lies... Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Mark
