[Samba] share permissions

[Kevin Field]

Interestingly, I couldn't turn off selinux using their method:

$ sudo echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
-bash: /selinux/enforce: Permission denied

Perhaps it's a CentOS thing.  Anyway, `sudo setenforce 0` seemed to work 
in that it didn't give me an error message, but OTOH didn't seem to work 
in that the output of ls -alhDZ was the same:

drwxrwxr-x. me   me  unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 mytestshare

But in any case, it still gives me the same error from Windows.

Also something strange happened, after a while I could not navigate to 
\\newdc without a similar error, but I had not been doing anything in 
the system, so I'm not sure what might have caused it.  Running `sudo 
killall samba` and then `sudo samba` made it suddenly be browseable 
again.  Maybe not related...not sure...

Anyway thanks for your help, Ricky.  Any other ideas?  BTW I had set up 
the selinux permissions on the mytestshare dir per the HOWTO at 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetUpSamba .  I'm pretty sure that's why 
it says samba_share_t on the ls output above.
