-In most cases the File Fabric's CIFS provider can be used without changing the File Fabric's SELinux settings.  Depending on the CIFS implementation, however, it may be necessary to switch SELinux to permissive mode to make the CIFS provider work.  If you have set up the CIFS provider without changing the SELinux configuration and the provider is not working as expected, follow these instructions to set SELinux to permissive mode.+===== Enable CIFS provider for the user package =====
