[Samba] Public shares in FC4 (update)

[Don Meyer]

[Caveat:  My systems are mostly RHEL4 based, I don't have a FC4 
system handy to verify paths & package names.  But they should be 
somewhat close...]

First, you need to identify what the problem is:  If you cannot find 
the AVC errors reported in your syslog, and decifer them to know how 
to fix them manually, the easiest method is to run the following 
utility command:

         audit2allow -i /var/log/messages

This will run the audit2allow utility against the current syslog 
file, which I'm assuming will contain the AVC errors generated by 
your problem.   (If log rotation has occurred since the errors, 
simply run the command against /var/log/messages.1 .)

The output from this command needs to be added to (create if 
necessary) the file:

         /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te

(If the "src" directory is missing under /etc/selinux/targeted/, you 
may need to install the selinux-policy-targeted-source package.)

When you've finished editing local.te, cd to the "policy" level, and 
execute this command:

         cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/
         make load


After this, you can try your system to see if the error is still being thrown.

Cheers,
-D
