fwd: [Samba] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

[Mike Soh]

Thanks steve for the reply.

FC4 has SELinux that locks down home directories.  The solution is on
LinuxQuestions:
     http://tinyurl.com/8agtd

Summary:
     [root]# setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1

     or add "samba_enable_home_dirs=1" to your
     /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.local file
