Run this command to see if selinux is running : getenforce

If you see permissive , then you should be fine, if you see the output to be enforcing , then set it to permissive, without having to restart :

setenforce permissive

If this solves the problem, then yes it was selinux, however the above settings is temporary and for next reboot you will have to edit :

/etc/sysconfig/selinux and set the selinux to permissive from enforcing.

This way you don't have to reboot machine to have selinux change applied.

Hi all,
I am trying to get Samba to installed on a CentOS 6.2 machine. I have read-only access working, but when I try to make edits to files, it claims I don't have permissions. I copied my smb.conf file from another machine that had things working, so the conf file should be good.

I read some online about SELinux settings. I tried setting a few, but it had no change. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
