SElinux and Samba Share problem

[sehsuvar]

Hi
I am having problem with samba share. I am using Tumbleweed on Raspberry pi4b. I used [openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-KDE-raspberrypi.aarch64-2025.06.04-Snapshot20250714.raw.xz] image. I set sumba shares then smb service seems to failing. But if I turn off selinux during boot and edit “selinux=0” then smb service works fine.

and output of “sudo journalctl -xeu smb.service” is

Jul 19 20:30:34 SuSePrint systemd[1]: smb.service: start-pre operation timed out. Terminating.

Apart from the obligatory comment that your post is unreadable and you should always use preformatted text when posting computer output - if you identified the problem as SELinux, you need to open bug report.

I am sorry if I made some sort of mistake, the tone of you reply was bit harsh. Anyways, I am not 100% sure if it is the SELinux bug or something I made. I was just looking for someone willing to point me to right direction, before reporting any bug. So I want to be sure that is it worth reporting.
