This may be samba's fault, but I am applying it to firewalld because everything broke following a firewalld upgrade. My Fedora 24 workstation shares out 2 samba shares to Windows 7 clients. These shares worked perfectly fine for several weeks and survived multiple reboots. So I know the firewall was working as it should have been, and this was not a runtime vs permanent issue. This morning I did a dnf upgrade. Following this upgrade: Upgraded firewalld-0.4.3.3-1.fc24.noarch @updates Upgrade 0.4.4.1-1.fc24.noarch @updates Upgraded firewalld-filesystem-0.4.3.3-1.fc24.noarch @updates Upgrade 0.4.4.1-1.fc24.noarch @updates My windows clients could no longer see my samba shares. I fought with various components for several hours before I decided to just say "screw it" and turned off the firewall to see what would happen. As soon as the firewall was down, Windows could see the shares again. Not sure what changed in those two updates, but it would appear that something broke somewhere in regards to rule parsing.
Please have a look at http://people.redhat.com/twoerner/firewalld/0.4.4.1-1/ There you can find an additional policy module definition file for SELinux: firewalld-0.4.4.te It only allows firewalld to search and analyse if there are usable netfilter conntrack helpers: allow firewalld_t modules_object_t:dir { getattr open search read }; Please have a look at the file SELINUX.README to be able to enable and use the module.
You need to reload or restart firewalld after you enabled the additional policy module. firewalld was not able to search and analyse if there are netfilter conntrack modules and which helpers they provide.
Will give this a shot tonight, thanks, Thomas
So this frustrating. We lost power at some point yesterday while I was at work. I had the F25 upgrade queued up, and I came home to it being complete. So now I'm on f25, not f24, and I can't reproduce this under f25. Thomas up to you what you want to do with this bug. Something is up under F24 that is fixed in F25.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
