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
to get a list of the switches ("booleans") you can turn on or off, and
setsebool <name>=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.
