Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

avc: denied { search } for smbd: msg#00180

Subject: avc: denied { search } for smbd
Hello,

I have just installed FC4t2 on a new system with SELinux enabled. SAMBA complains with the following avc when trying to mount a shared resource named XEN whose path is /home/user:

audit(1114248344.419:0): avc: denied { search } for pid=3329 exe=/usr/sbin/smbd name=home dev=dm-0 ino=196609 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t tclass=dir audit(1114248344.425:0): avc: denied { search } for pid=3329 exe=/usr/sbin/smbd name=home dev=dm-0 ino=196609 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t tclass=dir

# tail /etc/samba/smb.conf
[XEN]
    comment = Data placeholder
    path = /home/user
    public = yes
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes

# ls -ldZ /home
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:home_root_t    /home

# grep smbd_t /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/policy.conf | head -1
allow smbd_t home_root_t:dir { read getattr lock search ioctl };

So I don't understand what's going on: the policy explicitly allows domain smbd_t to perform search on home_root_t:dir and /home is already labeled home_root_t.

Any ideas?
