[Samba] FW: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

[Dominic Gamble]

I did change selinux from restrictive to permissive at some point during the
process, by editing the file /etc/selinux/config. I didn't know a reboot was
required for this to take effect, but that could be it.

Best regards,
Dominic

Ok, I suspected "something along these lines", but my knowledge about
selinux and friends is so embrassing that I did not even want to mention the
word actively myself, hoping that someone would explain this... ;-)
