Description of problem:

This is possibly an issue that was resolved in the current FC9 with all updates -- I have an FC9 server running backuppc from RPM and SELINUX enforcing that works fine.

In FC10 however selinux causes the web management interface to fail.  But attempting to run audit2allow, the problem does not resolve.  I can access the interface when I have set selinux to PERMISSIVE.  Then I get the following messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log

type=AVC msg=audit(1227925707.965:93): avc:  denied  { unlink } for  pid=2739 comm="perl5.10.0" name="hosts.old" dev=dm-0 ino=6856802 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 tclass=file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

BackupPC-3.1.0-3.fc10.noarch

How reproducible:

I installed BackupPC during a clean installation of FC10, 
I did the bare configuration to get service running:  

Use htpasswd to add an admin user to /etc/BackupPC/apache.users.  

Add the same user to the variable defining an admin user in 
/etc/BackupPC/config.pl file 
  $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'administrator';

Change the allow directive in /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf to permit access to the web interface from the LAN.

Restart httpd and backuppc

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  The above steps are sufficient to access the web management if SELINUX is in permissive mode.

2.  audit2allow corrects an apparent issue with http access to the directory but continues to interfere with perl if I understand the audit.log message.

#audit2allow -a

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t httpd_sys_content_t:file { write rename create };
allow httpd_t var_log_t:sock_file write;
  
Actual results:

after logon to the web interface, a message appears:
"Error, Unable to connect to BackupPC server."

Expected results:
after logon to the web interface, I would be able to edit the configuration and monitor backups.

Thank you.
