RHEL4 + Samba + Selinux: chcon and setsebool error


This is driving me bananas.

I have samba up and running. I can connect and see my share directories.
However I can only browse my home directory. I get errors along the lines of

'/opt/samba-test' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [samba-test]

in my log file.

Looking around the web I gather I have to sort out Samba with Selinux.

I've tried running

chcon -t samba_share_t /opt/samba-test

but i get this error

chcon: failed to change context of /opt/samba-test to system_ubject_r:samba_share_t: Invalid argument

I've also tried

setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1

but that gives

Error setting boolean smbd_disable_trans to value 1 (No such file or directory)


What am I doing wrong? And what should I be doing?
