crond/mailman, .... Rawhide issues....

[Tom London]

Latest stuff from Rawhide: crond/mailman issues again....

Here is the email (I got lots of these!):

Subject: Cron <mailman at fedora> /usr/bin/python -S

X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/var/mailman>

Traceback (most recent call last):

Here are the AVCs:

audit2allow produces:
allow system_crond_t mailman_lock_t:dir { write };
allow system_crond_t mailman_log_t:file { append read };

That right, (or have I broken something else)?
