Comment 1 Carl Roth 2006-07-29 16:21:10 UTC
The relevant statements in samba.te in serefpolicy 2.2.47 are

  allow nmbd_t samba_log_t:dir ra_dir_perms;
  allow nmbd_t samba_log_t:file { create ra_file_perms };

Changing the 'ra_dir_perms' to 'rw_dir_perms' doesn't fix the problem; this is
what smbd_t is set to, and it's also being rejected by selinux.  I suspect this
is related to the new 'cores' subdirectory of /var/log/samba.

The obvious fix here would be to change the statements

  allow smbd_t samba_log_t:dir rw_dir_perms;
  allow nmbd_t samba_log_t:dir ra_dir_perms;

to

  allow smbd_t samba_log_t:dir create_dir_perms;
  allow nmbd_t samba_log_t:dir create_dir_perms;
