[Samba] Can't get samba to start.

2007-11-13 Thread Samuel Melrose
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
5audit(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
5audit(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
5audit(1194957793.491:274): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=14045
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

If I do an `ls` on the /etc/samba directory, it shows the permissions
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# 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.

Looks like you're running selinux in enforcing mode.

You'll need to develope your own tageted file overrides to allow samba 
to write to the necessary files.


In the meantime, you can change selinux to permissive mode which only 
logs the violation.
