Thanks, Colin, for your suggestion.

Seems to me it also couldn't hurt to label /etc/cron.daily/* and friends 
with something other than etc_t. But, then again, I suppose that a specific 
label isn't reasonable for scripts referenced in /etc/crontab. So, I guess 
the effort would come to nothing.

Cheers,
