In the samba_selinux manpage it has this content: FILE_CONTEXTS SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If you want to share files other than home directories, those files must be labeled samba_share_t. So if you created a special directory /var/eng, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool. chcon -t samba_share_t /var/eng If you want to make this permanant, i.e. survive a relabel, you must add an entry to the file_contexts.local file. /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local /var/eng(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t ------------------------------------------------------------------ The end of the last line above should have ':s0' at the end, I believe.
John, I see following from the samba_selinux manpage: ------------------------------------- chcon -t samba_share_t /var/eng To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration: semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/var/eng(/.*)?" This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local: /var/eng(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t --------------------------------------- Dan, probably should be added ':s0', but what do you think about removing following lines: -This command adds the following entry to -/etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local: -/var/eng(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t
Miroslav add the latest man pages from rawhide to F11.
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.12-79.fc11
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. 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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
