[BackupPC-users] SELinux problems with rsync

2008-02-01 Thread Joe Krahn
I am using Fedora 7. SELinux blocks rsync access to all files that don't have a "public_content" label. The selinux profile includes boolean option "rsync_export_all_ro", but enabling it did not help. It seems to only apply to rsyncd, and not rsync over ssh. I switched to rsync over ssh, but I now

[BackupPC-users] Suggestion for email aliases, etc.
