Is it possible to run crontab job as a root any more on FC8?  I get this
in /var/log/cron and job is not run:

 ... crond[2511]: (root) Unauthorized SELinux context (cron/root)


Thanks,

Jouni


# ls -lZ /var/spool/cron/
-rw-------  root root system_u:object_r:unconfined_cron_spool_t root

# rpm -qa | grep selinux-policy-targeted
selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-53.fc8

I just tried my luck (just guessing):

# chcon -t sysadm_crond_t /var/spool/cron/root 
chcon: failed to change context of /var/spool/cron/root to
system_u:object_r:sysadm_crond_t: Permission denied
