Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/smbd from 'write' accesses on the directory xfce-perchannel-xml. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow samba to share users home directories. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'samba_enable_home_dirs' boolean. You can read 'user_selinux' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1 ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow samba to share any file/directory read/write. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'samba_export_all_rw' boolean. You can read 'user_selinux' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw 1 ***** Plugin catchall (6.38 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that smbd should be allowed write access on the xfce-perchannel-xml 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 smbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 Target Objects xfce-perchannel-xml [ dir ] Source smbd Source Path /usr/sbin/smbd Port <Neznámé> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages samba-4.0.9-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-73.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:10:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen 2013-08-22 13:08:13 CEST Last Seen 2013-08-26 22:36:35 CEST Local ID 91c477c9-eefa-49b4-a8b9-ac19ab263dbf Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1377549395.960:726): avc: denied { write } for pid=24004 comm="smbd" name="xfce-perchannel-xml" dev="dm-2" ino=67895323 scontext=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1377549395.960:726): avc: denied { add_name } for pid=24004 comm="smbd" name="xsettings.xml.new" scontext=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1377549395.960:726): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EBADE a0=7f4b82a5fae0 a1=202c1 a2=1a4 a3=0 items=0 ppid=13811 pid=24004 auid=4294967295 uid=1001 gid=0 euid=1001 suid=0 fsuid=1001 egid=1001 sgid=0 fsgid=1001 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=smbd exe=/usr/sbin/smbd subj=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: smbd,smbd_t,user_home_dir_t,dir,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.10.9-200.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
