Re: [CentOS] rsync and selinux

I use rsync extensively to transfer entire systems from and to SElinux enforcing environments and have never had a problem with reads using rsync when logged on as the root user. My typical command line is some variation of the following:

/usr/bin/rsync -avX --delete-after --specials --times \ --exclude-from=/root/rsync.d/exclude.list \ 192.168.216.29:/* /.

(-a includes --times :)

Are you connecting as the root user?

I'm connecting in daemon mode since I'm using pre-defined modules. Any other solution requires either a password or setting up passwordless ssh, which I'm not inclined to do in this case. The purpose here is automation.
