Data access to two daemon

[Arthur Pemberton]

I have a personal server setup with SELinux in targeted mode.

I would like to allow rw access over these files to Samba, and ro
access to these files to httpd.

In my current setup, SELinux requires the security context of the
respective daemon to allow access to them.

Since I gave Samba access more priority, the current context is:
root:object_r:samba_share_t

The files are not owned by root, they are currently chowned pembo13:comrades.

Please advise on the best method to arrange for the access that I seem
to require.

Thank you.

Use context type public_content_rw_t, and set the boolean 
allow_smbd_anon_write to 1.

man samba_selinux seems to suggest using public_content_rw_t on the file
and setting the allow_smbd_anon_write boolean.
