Hey,
I'm having problems with samba. It has never worked properly on my server
since I've had it installed.. Its for a home server, running xbox-Linux
Fedora Core 6.
I've just uninstalled every trace of the old samba, and started a fresh.
With the latest samba sources I found on the website.
The nmbd starts fine, but smbd never starts, and in the kernel log, I get
the following message....
"<5>audit(1194957676.859:270): avc: denied { write } for pid=14000
comm="smbd"
name="secrets.tdb" dev=hda2 ino=2490462 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0
tconte
xt=root:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file
<5>audit(1194957768.575:272): avc: denied { write } for pid=14025
comm="smbd"
name="secrets.tdb" dev=hda2 ino=2490462 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0
tconte
xt=root:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file
<5>audit(1194957793.491:274): avc: denied { write } for pid=14045

name="secrets.tdb" dev=hda2 ino=2490462 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0
tconte
xt=root:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file"
If I do an `ls` on the /etc/samba directory, it shows the permissions....
[root at xbox-server ~]# ls -l /etc/samba
total 68
-rwx------ 1 root root 8192 Nov 13 12:02 secrets.tdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19666 Nov 13 12:02 smb.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19701 Nov 13 11:51 smb.conf.example
-rw------- 1 root root 103 Nov 13 12:03 smbpasswd
My smb.conf file is as follows...
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = XBOXSERVER
server string = Samba Server %v
interfaces = 192.168.1.60/24, 192.168.1.61/24
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = cups
dns proxy = No
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
write list = @adm, root
guest ok = Yes
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
Thank you, very much. Any help is very much appreciated!
Samuel Melrose.
