Its definitely not the proper way for a program as popular as Samba. I
have it running on a machine with SELinux myself so I know it works.

Do you have setroubleshoot installed? It helps troubleshoot these
issues, often suggesting exactly what to do. and describing what
happened as much as possible.

If you still have the full description of the issue, paste it here. If
we can't understand it, try the selinux mailing list.
