You can use "sudo ausearch -m avc" to show the log entries. http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david//linux/selinux-demonstration.pdf explains that selinux is about what programs are allowed to do. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Tutorials/Where_to_find_SELinux_permission_denial_details might be useful. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/samba is "man 8 selinux_samba" which used to come in selinux-policy-devel but dnf can't find it for Fedora 31. > I did a setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on > > I can't see why selinux would disallow remote users to access a device > mounted to a shared directory. Am I wrong ? > The link I provides says "If you want to share files other than home directories, those files must be labeled samba_share_t." When I created a new samba share in Fedora 60 I had to label the files. If your external drive uses a low-rent filesystem you may not be able label files. > On Mon, Nov 25, 2019 at 2:17 PM George N.
