CentOS - Sep 2018 - SAMBA Issues

Hi folks.

For some reason my smb.conf tests just fine, but it isn?t showing up at my Mac. 
The box is showing, but I can?t see anything.  It gives me an error as well. 
All is below.

https://www.unixmen.com/install-configure-samba-server-centos-7/ is the setup
I?m trying.

The smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        security = user

        passdb backend = tdbsam

        unix charset = UTF-8
        hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
        max protocol = SMB2
        security = user
        map to guest = Bad User

        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        load printers = no
        cups options = raw

[homes]
       	comment = Home Directories
        valid users = %S, %D%w%S
        browseable = Yes
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes

[etc]
     	comment = RF /etc
        path = /etc
        public = no
        writeable = yes
        write list = @wheel
        directory mask = 0770
        create mask = 0770

[www]
     	comment = RF www
        path = /usr/share/nginx/html
        public = no
        writeable = yes
        write list = @wheel
        directory mask = 0775
        create mask = 0775

[rich~]
        comment = rich~
        path = home/rich
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        guest ok = no
        read only = no
        create mask = 755

The ?error? says ?there was a problem connecting to the server? trying to enter
as ?guest?.  The users ?rich? and ?root? won?t allow me to even try those, with
proper passwords.

Any advice appreciated how I can get this working.  I?m looking to open remote
files in BBEdit for editing on my workstation.   I have full ownership of this
server.


Cheers, Bee

OK, got it working somewhat.  I can see files and get them open in my text
editor on my workstation.

Do these services offer read/write abilities on remote workstations?

is like it's been grafted on from a Windows world. Fine for NAS stuff. But
for editing system files, is look into an SFTP or SSH GUI client for macOS.

Also, SELinux requires dirs/files labeled with samba_share_t which is not
how any system files should be labeled.
