SELinux Configuration

rsync may interact with SELinux and fail operations that otherwise would succeed. A typical symptom is not to be able to create a directory:

[...] rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/timesnap" (in rackstationb) failed: Permission denied (13):

The solution is to:

setsebool -P rsync_full_access=on

The change survives reboot. For more details, see:
