Please be so kind and consider patching all current and future samba ebuilds with the attached diff.

This will ensure correct functioning of the product in a SELinux environment.

thanks,
peter

This needs to go to the ebuild maintainer to add the deps

Hey, it looks like no current version of net-fs/samba has a SELinux flag. This means that one has to manually install selinux-samba and re-emerge samba if you want to be able to start samba on a new SELinux system.

Is there some reason why the change from this bug was reverted?

(I'm running on Hardened Gentoo, stable x86_64, but that has no bearing on this issue.)

No idea why, I suspect an ebuild rewrite a long time ago. Anyway, I readded the dependency on the ebuilds in the tree.
