Workstations are easy to build from parts, so that wouldn't be an issue.
But really I'm looking at getting a laptop, the portability really is
a necessity. Reading reviews about entroware, they say that the mouse pad
isn't great, which is a shame.

Hi,
I decided to try to get samba running on my PC before checking it from a
laptop.
I am running Fedora 22 but used this for 20:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/40353/how-to-enable-samba-share-for-a-specific-directory-fedora-20/
I did a smb//192.168.0.2 from the file manager to connect to the server
and I could see my folder and files in /home/peter/Documents/.
I have a kmymoney file in that directory tand can open it using samba
but it is an old file!
My current file was in my "home" directory so I moved it to
/home/peter/Documents/ and reconnected the server where I can see now
see the icons for both files BUT I can only open the older one!
I checked kmymoney can open both files from "Documents" and the file
permissions and UID's are the same but kymoney reports:
File
/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.2,share=documents/May2015.kmy
not found.
Any ideas as to why it cannot be opened?
Regards

Hi -
It depends what you mean by "portability"; if you mean "using on the move,
probably on battery power, e.g. whilst on a train", then a NUC is almost
certainly of no use to you. If, on the other hand, you just mean "something
I can sling in a backpack and take between home and my permanent place of
work/study", then James' suggestion merits investigation. You'd also be
able to trivially use whatever HID devices suit your needs (though you might
want to buy two or more examples of each, to save you slinging those in the
backpack too).
Best Regards,
Alex

I have now noticed SELinux is reporting a problem, it was a bit late
last night!!:
SELinux is preventing smbd from read access on the file May2015.kmy.
Plugin: catchall
you want to allow smbd to have read access on the May2015.kmy fileIf you
believe that smbd should be allowed read access on the May2015.kmy file
by default.
You should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Allow this access for now by executing:
# grep smbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
I am not sure why this happened but allowing the access as above sorted
it out OK.
I know many on the list prefer not to run SElinux, but I prefer to leave
it in permissive mode so I can see alerts without it stopping things
working. As I had not touched it since a clean Fedora install it was
running in enforcing mode, which I have now changed!

FYI, permissive mode doesn't enforce anything, it just logs what it would do
if it /were/ in enforcing mode. It's primarily of use in setup or debugging
tasks. Which is fine, as long as you aren't under the misapprehension that
permissive mode is gaining you anything in terms of additional security.

Alex
