Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If you want to share files using the rsync daemon, you must label the files and directories with the public_content_t type. Like most services, correct labeling is required for SELinux to perform its protection mechanisms over rsync . [21] [20] See the Rsync project page for more information. [21] See the rsync_selinux (8) manual page for more information about rsync and SELinux.
