Fedora 9 can't use apache's mod_auth_shadow

I'm trying to set an out-of-the-box httpd to use mod_auth_shadow to 
authenticate users.  Selinux won't let me.

mod_auth_shadow runs /usr/sbin/validate (which is chrooted) to actually 
check against /etc/shadow:

[root at localhost selinux]# ls -lrtZ /usr/sbin/validate
-rwsr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:chkpwd_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/validate

Validate appears to be labeled correctly, so, apparently the problem is 
that httpd can't make the domain transistion.

I really don't know how to allow it to.  I'd like to.

Help!

Thanks,

Kevin
