What magic chcon invocation do I need? Solution 1 (temporary; won't survive a re-boot): Issue the command: [root]# setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs=1 Solution 2 (might survive a reboot; I didn't actually try this one): [root]# setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1 Solution 3 (survives a reboot): This is the solution I ultimately settled on. Go to the /etc/selinux/targeted directory. Create a text file called booleans.local, and put the "samba_enable_home_dirs=1" line in it (without the quotes, of course). Solution 4 (surives a reboot, but removes all SELinux protection): Edit /etc/selinux/config. Change the line SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=permissive or SELINUX=disabled. I've got same problem earlier and tried the 3 solution from the list above. It worked. Best.
