I think that the FC4/development tree includes a patch to rsync to allow preservation of extended attributes (which would include the SELinux attributes). Hence, you might try building the development rsync SRPM on FC3 and trying it there (using the -X option). You need the updated rsync on both the client and server. Naturally, you'd want to test it out somewhere other than your production machine first. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> National Security Agency -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
