I miss spoke, I do have selinux on and couldn't share boot either. Since I turned selinux off everything is working fine. I would like to have selinux. I did: # chcon -R -t samba_share_t /data/public which didn't help. The man page has it slightly different. At least I know what the problem is. Any suggestions?
