I just set up samba to support some Win7 VMs on top of CentOS 5.5.

Recommend you read the first page or so of the smb.conf file in /etc/samba. It gives guidance on what to do to ensure SELinux doesn't get in the way.

I try to place my shares in something like /var/local/share and avoid any system directories or /home. One can place shares there, but they can be a pita to maintain and can present security risks.

I'm having problems setting up a samba server with sellinux in centos 5.6 (x64).

My samba config works flawlessly when selinux is disabled but fails to access shares when selinux is enabled. Wich command makes it possible to run samba with selinux without disabling it, now I've done: "set sebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1" but doesn't really solve my problem.

See the SELinux Wiki article, Section 7:
