No luck.

This did relabel the files in /var/log/BackupPC

[root at steve ~]# ls -lZ /var/log/BackupPC
-r--r--r--. backuppc backuppc system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
BackupPC.pid 
srwxr-x---. backuppc backuppc system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
BackupPC.sock
...

but SELinux still won't let me access the server. I get a slightly
different but essentially the same AVC as before:

Raw Audit Messages :

node=steve.blackwell type=AVC
msg=audit(1272379639.571:319): avc: denied { write } for pid=31612
comm="perl5.10.0" name="BackupPC.sock" dev=dm-0 ino=36667496
scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 tclass=sock_file

node=steve.blackwell type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1272379639.571:319):
arch=40000003 syscall=102 success=no exit=-13 a0=3 a1=bf877390
a2=8a34ac a3=8fc7008 items=0 ppid=2031 pid=31612 auid=4294967295 uid=48
gid=48 euid=495 suid=495 fsuid=495 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 tty=(none)
ses=4294967295 comm="perl5.10.0" exe="/usr/bin/perl5.10.0"
subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null) 

So it looks to my untrained eye that we have a process with context
system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 
trying to write to a file that has a context
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0

and there is no rule to say that this is OK. Is that about right?

Thanks,
Steve
