Problems running redhat config samba in the GUI

hi

Recently the above option has stopped working all together. On clicking on this option it appears as though the window will open as the outline of the box appears but nothing more.

On running this from a command prompt within the GUI , I get the following error:

Quote:
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
redhat-config-samba requires a currently running X server.
The last line makes no sense as the X server is clearly running as I ran this within the GUI in the first place Smilie

Any help would be appreciated.

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.
