Description Joel Uckelman 2012-06-02 10:09:02 UTC
Description of problem:

SELinux breaks the web interface of BackupPC.

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from write access on the sock_file BackupPC.sock.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that perl should be allowed write access on the BackupPC.sock sock_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep BackupPC_Admin. /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp


WARNING: Policy would be downgraded from version 27 to 26.
