Description lejeczek 2010-01-25 20:15:14 UTC

Description of problem:
..idea, when actual boolean is 0 and one has folders samba-shared from within home dir then failure is silent. Sure we all should read man pages but reports into the syslog would put many minds at ease. that would nicely appear in syslog just next to samba error, and everything is clear :)
thanks

Not sure what you are getting at.  Please show me what you would have wanted the /var/log/messages entry to look like?

Comment 2 lejeczek 2010-01-30 21:57:14 UTC

selinux silently denies samba access to public_content_rw_t(maybe samba_share_t too) labelled shares in a user's home dir if samba_enable_home_dirs is 0
man page explains it but if this denial when happens could as well go into logs, for those who have missed samba_selinux, troubleshooting it would be quicker, I think

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-02-01 18:32:26 UTC

I agree, 

Miroslav change

userdom_dontaudit_search_user_home_dirs(smbd_t)

to

userdom_search_user_home_content(smbd_t)

This will allow samba to search through the user homedir but not list them. 

I don't think this is much less secure.
