OK, it's been a while since I've set up a Linux server. Perhaps too long.
My most recent home box is a Fedora Core 23 server system. Installed fine; got my 24 TB XFS RAID system up and running (just needed a special RAID adapter kernel patch, no big deal) and got SSH, other things locked down.
There's just one problem. I couldn't get Samba to serve up some local shares. This is something that had worked just fine in its previous incarnations for me. I spent way, way too long (weeks, albeit with inconsistent and infrequent effort) figuring out that I hadn't correctly provided firewall access to the SMB protocol on my internal network.
Sigh. One little command and I'm back in business! What a head-slapper -- which is usually how these things go.
