the folder named "hm" that is held in travegre.net and is coppied along with all the other folders and data at travegre.net, gets deleted or better yet, the name of the folder is still there but is changed to "hm@" as a link which points to nothing. When I looked at the output of rsync the last time this happened (it doesn't happen on every run of rsync but has happened many times now) I found this strange:
"/home/travegre.net/" is the directory to which I copy files, so I don't understand why rsync would want to delete it at any point, moreover, why delete only the directory "hm" and above all, why all this problems always just with this directory, as if it was special in some way? But in the end, as I said, the directory in the destination is intact and the one in the source server gets ruined.
This problem has been bugging me for long time and I didn't find any answer on the web so if someone has any idea or a hint as to solution to this problem I would be very grateful, also tell me if I have to post this question somewhere else as I'm quite new here.
Thanks in advance

rsync_selinux
rsync_selinux(8) rsync Selinux Policy documentation rsync_selinux(8)NAME
rsync_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rsync daemon
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rsync server via flexible mandatory access control.
FILE_CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. 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 public_content_t. So if you created a special
directory /var/rsync, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool.
chcon -t public_content_t /var/rsync
To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration:
semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?"
This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:
/var/rsync(/.*)? system_u:object_r:publix_content_t:s0
Run the restorecon command to apply the changes:
restorecon -R -v /var/rsync/
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub-
lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub-
lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for rsync you would execute:
setsebool -P allow_rsync_anon_write=1
BOOLEANS
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
