Hi have you changed the selinux setting to samba_share_, assuming you
are using selinux. see the TUV documentation.

set selinux using the following comands, in my example my folder
is /home/jon/samba_share.

//set the selinux linux property

/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t
"/home/jon/samba_share(/.*)?"


//update files in folder

/sbin/restorecon -R -v /home/jon/samba_share


//think next lines about checking it has been changed

ls -dZ /home/jon/samba_share
ls -Z /home/jon/samba_share
