Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl "getattr" access on /var/spool/bacula/log. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by logwatch. It is not expected that this access is required by logwatch and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Why does bacula have its log files in /var/spool/bacula. Can you move them to /var/log/bacula? Piotr, Change the label on the directory to var_log_t and the problem should go away chcon -t var_log_t -R /var/spool/bacula/log
