Update the vixie-cron patch to handle labeling of the crontab files. Example problem: 1. login as unconfined_u non-root user 2. su to root 3. crontab -e 4. if creating the crontab, the crontab gets unconfined_u user, when it really should be root, assuming the root:root login mapping. Possibly may have to require users to log in as the actual user rather than using su, since a code fix may be denied by policy constraints.
Example error log message: cron[20642]: (root) ENTRYPOINT FAILED (crontabs/root) If you are trying to fix up your cron on v2refpolicy, make sure your crontab file has the right context: ls -Z /var/spool/cron/crontabs/[username] it should have the context: [seuser]:object_r:user_cron_spool_t where the seuser is the one that is mapped to the linux user (see 'semanage login -l' for mappings). So for example, the root crontab should have the root seuser on the crontab file, for the default SELinux user mapping.
