I disabled it but initially it did not make a difference. After I rebooted, I
tried again, and then I could connect to the camera again. So this more or
less proves that it was due to SELinux settings.
I would like to use SELinux in Enforcing mode, and find a solution to the
problem. Does anybody have a clue on how to pursue?
