Ok, I found a solution. If I disable selinux, then everything works fine, when it's enabled samba doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to configure selinux to allow samba to function? Here's a recap of the problems I see when selinux is set to SELINUX=enforcing Setting smb.conf security = share 1) If I shared a directory on the main /dev/hda1 file system (ext3), I could browse that share from Windows XP, but only could see the directories, no files 2) If I shared a directory on another hard drive, /dev/hdc1 (ext3), I could see the share from Windows XP, but double clicking on the share would result in either a password prompt or a permissions error. Again, does anyone know how to configure selinux to work with samba (security = share)? This is a Redhat Fedora Core 4 box running Samba version 3.0.14a-2 Thanks, Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hanby Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2005 23:17 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] Can't connect to smb share that's a mounted file system It's ext3 (In the original post I included the make file system command): # mkfs.ext3 -L /backup /dev/hdc1 If I do an ls -ld /backup before mounting and after mounting, the permissions look the same to me, obviously I'm missing something but I can't find it! -----Original Message----- From: Craig White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2005 20:56 To: Mike Hanby Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] Can't connect to smb share that's a mounted file system On Sat, 2005-11-12 at 20:44 -0600, Mike Hanby wrote: > Howdy, the path statement in the smb.conf file is using Unix pathing. > > path = /backup > > I tried adding the "guest only = yes" to the [netfiles] section and it > didn't change anything. > > Here's my [netfiles] section again: > [netfiles] > comment = Network file storage space > path = /backup > read only = no > guest only = yes > public = yes > > Basically, what it's boiling down to is, I can create smb shares on my main > drive, /dev/hda1, and access them fine from my XP system.

I'm wondering if it's some NTFS or vfat mounted as a user that wouldn't have permissions.
