Clicking on that should open a GUI with several sections to it. The top will describe your problem in summary; the second will be a more detailed description; the third should offer you command suggestions for allowing access: For example, I was getting this: Summary SELinux is preventing the samba daemon from serving r/o local files to remote clients. Detailed Description SELinux has preventing the samba daemon (smbd) from reading files on the local system. If you have not exported these file systems, this could signals an intrusion. Allowing access If you want to export file systems using samba you need to turn on the samba_export_all_ro boolean: "setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1". The following command will allow this access:setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1 So, running that command changed the selinux policies to allow the access; you have to be root to run that command If you can't see the star icon, look in your menus for setroubleshoot and that should open the window I'm talking about... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
