Installed latest Samba version to share files between Fedora and my Windows box. Installed system-config-samba opened system-config-samba Got the error notice from SELinux and manually enabled the 'sys_nice' function from the output from SELinux troubleshooter. Not sure if python 2.7 should have access to this function or not but only popped up when I opened system-config-samba (GUI for Samba) Package: (null) OS Release: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
