Description David Dreggors 2013-02-27 04:37:44 UTC
Description of problem:
I started smb/nmb services.

Also here is the outout of audit2why:

# grep nmbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2why
type=AVC msg=audit(1361934929.541:1728): avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=4149 comm="nmbd" name="samba" scontext=system_u:system_r:nmbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:samba_var_t:s0 tclass=dir

        Was caused by:
                Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

                You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access.

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/nmbd from 'create' accesses on the directory samba.

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

If you believe that nmbd should be allowed create access on the samba directory 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 nmbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
