Hi,
with the removal of the SELinux login entry for system_u [1], cron
stops working.
get_security_context [2] expects a NULL name when called for a system cronjob.
But it is called with "system_u" [2].
It worked so far cause getseuserbyname [3] translated the incorrect
name value "system_u" still to the "system_u" seuser.
Best regards,
Christian Göttsche
