SELinux messages in /var/log/messages after enabling samba

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Why am I getting "SELinux is preventing" messages for samba.
  • SELinux is preventing samba from 'sendto' accesses on the unix_dgram_socket /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock/

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
