Along with Mikkel's question about adding users to Samba, you may also have to change firewall rules to allow Samba connections through, and

SELinux rules to allow sharing home space.  I think the defaults are
still to deny such things.

How can I figure out which SELinux rule to edit?

Editing the actual rules is pretty fearsome. But the rules define some

"user settable switches" which are easy to change.  Often these basic

policy options are all you need to make selinux conform to common setups -- and it's nice that the list of these options can be discovered easily

from the commandline.  Use

getsebool -a

samba_domain_controller --> off
samba_enable_home_dirs --> off
samba_export_all_ro --> off
samba_export_all_rw --> off
samba_share_nfs --> off

to get a list of the switches ("booleans") you can turn on or off, and

setsebool <name>=on

I turned the following on and restarted the service
sudo setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs=on
sudo setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs=on
sudo setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs=on

to enable it, =off disables it.  If you additionally give -P, then it
will be sticky across reboots.  So it looks like you can try

setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs=on

for example and restart IIRC the "smb" service.

sudo service smb restart
