Samba doesn't have access to the html directory tree. It is protected by SELinux for the use of apache, not samba.

Doing what you want breaks the security surrounding apache, and could allow unauthorized files (via normal apache operation) to corrupt windows.

If you don't care about the security, then disable SELinux.

selinux is already disabled

yes, we want to allow the html folder to the user (after validating a particular group) so they are able to access their home directories, but no permission for write in html

Have you thought about making an apache DocumentRoot directory in your user's home directory and letting access to it?

Hi,

this one worked for me

after disabling the selinux
iptables
ip6tables
and firewall


smb.cnf

workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v

netbios name = LINUXIA

; interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
interfaces = lo eth0
; hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13.
hosts allow = 192.168.0.

# --------------------------- Logging Options -----------------------------
#
# Log File let you specify where to put logs and how to split them up.
#
# Max Log Size let you specify the max size log files should reach

# logs split per machine
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# max 50KB per log file, then rotate
max log size = 50

# ----------------------- Standalone Server Options ------------------------
#
# Scurity can be set to user, share(deprecated) or server(deprecated)
#
# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.

security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb
