I've encountered the same problem moving from FC3 to FC4. SELinux is the source of the problem and may be due to a more restrictive security policy. As a quick workaround, someone on the Samba mailing list suggested that I enter the following command to disable the enhanced security: /usr/sbin/setenforce permissive This works, but I don't know how to make the change more permanent or to disable to policy for Samba only. Any insights? Derek --- For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: I am trying to share a directory using samba under FC4.
