I have:

# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf

read only = yes
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
transfer logging = yes
dont compress = *

[Fedora]
         path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora
         comment = Fedora mirror

[CentOS]
         path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/centos
         comment = CentOS mirror
# ls -lZ /etc/rsyncd.conf
-rw-r--r--  root root root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/rsyncd.conf
# ls -lZ /var/log/rsyncd.log
-rw-r--r--  root root root:object_r:var_log_t          /var/log/rsyncd.log
# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 21
Policy from config file:        targeted
# uname -a

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/rsync
rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf

This is what gets logged in /var/log/messages when a transfer
is started:

No SELinux errors.

Why is your rsync 2.6.8?
