audit2allow gave you the code to allow "search" capability on directories labeled "default_t". You are instead giving samba full access to the parent directory of your share(s) by re-labeling it.

It's your call whether granting smbd the limited "search" capability to all directories labeled "default_t" is more or less secure than granting smbd full access to a single parent directory.

Yes I just realized that. I solved it another way.

When I had this samba couldn't see public. I got avc error saying smbd_t
needed access to default_t
drwxr-xr-x  root   root  system_u:object_r:default_t  /data
drwxrwsrwx  root   root  system_u:object_r:samba_share_t  /data/public

When I had this samba could see public and it worked.
drwxr-xr-x  root   root  system_u:object_r:samba_share_t  /data
drwxrwsrwx  root   root  system_u:object_r:samba_share_t  /data/public

I think this is a better solution then to have samba have access to any
new dir with default_t. What do you think?
