Good morning @agamennon ,
we don’t need* SELinux to solve this, let’s check Rockstor logs:

Try to turn on Samba service via Rockstor WebUI then collect this logs

journalctl -xe nmbd
systemctl status -l nmbd
tail -n 100 /opt/rockstor/var/log/rockstor
tail -n 100 /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
tail -n 100 /var/log/samba/log.smbd

(*) We don’t need SELinux: Rockstor usually with SELinux disabled, but you can search our forum and find how to turn it on with permissive mode

Before i took any more of your time i tried reinstalling SAMBA and libwbclient, rebooted and now it works.

yum reinstall samba
yum reinstall libwbclient
reboot
