I haven't had an answer to this yet but the folks on the SELinux list
gave me some instructions on how to fix it. Unfortunately, it did not
fix the problem because according to them the .pid file and the .sock
file need to be in the /var/run directory and not in /var/log. Also
according to the SELinux folks they requested a long time ago that the
BackupPC package maintainer correct this but it has not been done.

So, a couple of questions:

1) Who is the Fedora package maintainer for BackupPC?
2) Is there some reason or objection to making the changes as requested
by SELinux?
3) Are there any plans to fix the original problem in F11?

Thanks,
Steve
