Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2007-06-11 12:58:21 UTC 
For now I would just add that policy to your system, and I think we need to add
a policy for BackupPC.  Executing the following two lines should allow http to
communicate with the backuppc server.

# grep http /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mybackuppc
# semodule -i mybackuppc.pp
Comment 3 Martin Jürgens 2007-09-04 20:13:49 UTC 
Why has this been closed as a WONTFIX? Thanks :)
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2007-09-04 21:55:19 UTC 
Someone has to write a policy for BackupPC in order to fix this, for everyone. 
I have given you a workaround.  We do not ship BackupPC so I don't see how we
can fix this.  If someone writes a policy for backuppc we will pick it up.
Comment 5 Martin Jürgens 2007-09-05 06:07:32 UTC 
Thank you for your clarification. Does that mean that Fedora 8 won't ship with
BackupPC anymore? (It is shipped with Fedora 7)
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2007-09-11 19:37:56 UTC 
No I will reassign as a bug to BackupPC to add a policy,
Comment 7 Johan Cwiklinski 2007-09-12 09:15:00 UTC 
I'm currently workin ont he 3.0.0 integration, and SELinux issues are always
present.
I'll try to write the right policy file...
Comment 8 Martin Jürgens 2007-09-12 10:55:00 UTC 
Johan, many thanks for caring of BackupPC now. I was in fear that it would
disappear from the Fedora archives, which would not have been great as it is
very usable for me. I also tried to package 3.0 myself, but I failed (I am a RPM
packaing beginner ;))
