I am constantly coping files to and from my AIX boxes. I finally got sick of all the FTP and using third party desktop applications and installed Samba on my NIM box and shared out my home directory. On my Windows workstation, I mapped the N drive (N for NIM) to the share and now if I want to upload or download files to any of my AIX boxes, I just go through my N drive and then scp the file to other servers. It is much easier and faster than FTP. Also, since it acts like a Windows drive, I can attach files directly from that share into e-mails. Very nice.
From my smb.conf:
Code:
[homes]
volume = %H
comment = %U's home directory (%H)
writeable = yes
browseable = no

samba_selinux(8) Samba Selinux Policy documentation samba_selinux(8)NAME
samba_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for Samba
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the Samba server via flexible mandatory access control.
FILE_CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If
you want to share files other than home directories, those files must be labeled samba_share_t. So if you created a special directory
/var/eng, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool.
chcon -t samba_share_t /var/eng
To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration:
semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/var/eng(/.*)?"
This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:
/var/eng(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0
Run the restorecon command to apply the changes:
restorecon -R -v /var/eng/
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub-
lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub-
lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for samba you would execute:
setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. So by default SELinux policy turns off SELinux sharing of home directories
and the use of Samba shares from a remote machine as a home directory.
If you are setting up this machine as a Samba server and wish to share the home directories, you need to set the samba_enable_home_dirs
boolean.
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1
If you want to use a remote Samba server for the home directories on this machine, you must set the use_samba_home_dirs boolean.
setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
