I am migrating a samba server from FC3 to FC5. I did a fresh install and have run into an SELINUX policy issue. I have no problem logging on as root and typing in rsync --daemon, but when I insert the same line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local and reboot, then /var/log/messages shows the following (with other stuff edited out). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Apr 7 20:18:50 localhost kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found Apr 7 20:18:50 localhost rsyncd[2062]: rsync: failed to open log-file /var/log/rsyncd.log: Permission denied (13) Apr 7 20:18:50 localhost rsyncd[2062]: Ignoring "log file" setting.
