I'm not at the BackuPC server right now (and can't even get to the web interface from here), but as I recall the only problems were with the cgi script. In FC 5 and 6, you can modify the SELinux policy from a GUI (System --> Administration --> Security Level and Firewall, click on the SELinux tab). I don't remember exactly which booleans I had to change, but changing some of the ones connected to the httpd service lets BackupPC run just fine without disabling SELinux in general. George
