Funnily enough I've had a similar issue with logrotate not
transitioning to squid_t on Fedora 10:

type=AVC msg=audit(1231041733.717:646): avc:  denied  { read } for
pid=6892 comm="squid" name="squid.conf" dev=dm-6 ino=147637

tty=(none) ses=101 comm="squid" exe="/usr/sbin/squid"
subj=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)

The result of this is the following email when logrotate runs:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

2009/01/04 04:02:13| ALERT: initgroups: unable to set groups for User
