Hello,
using Fedora 16 and its samba 3.6 stack
I would like to share a directory that is under a local ntfs mounted

For normal dirs I'm able to share after
 chcon -t samba_share_t /dir/to/share/path

But for dirs under ntfs? Is there any directive to tell samba to skip
selinux protection for particular shares?

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

So from what I understand ntfs-3g is a fuse filesystem. I would
assume that when you do ls -Z on any file on your ntfs-3g mount that
it comes back with the type fuse_t. Unfortunately fuse doesn't support
finer-grained labeling with SELinux. The best thing that you will be
able to do is make it so your entire ntfs-3g mount is labeled
samba_share_t and then just export the folders you want. You should be
able to do this by adding -o context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t
to your mount command for your ntfs-3g mount.

I just looked back at an old post I made on this very issue and it seems that there might be a problem. Unless it has been fixed the fuse mount program doesn't necessarially pass the context mount option down to the kernel to be handled. So the fix I suggested above might not work. They may have fixed that problem so give it a try anyway but if the mount option is not passed down there isn't much you can do about it.
