Description Dave 2011-04-02 14:20:22 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/smbd from using the 'sys_chroot' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that smbd should have the sys_chroot capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep smbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

You can allow it for now using

# grep smbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-04 13:24:58 UTC
I guess we need this in F13 and RHEL6.
