A little while ago, I found that anacron wasn't running correctly
under
FC6/strict, which led to me add a temporary fixup .te for its operation.
Once I had that in place, I finally received the cron.daily and logwatch
Emails every day shortly after bootup.
With that in place, I recently took to leaving the machine powered
overnight, which of course led to all the Cron jobs running via crond
instead of anacron.
Oddly, I noticed that the logwatch Email arrived, but NOT the cron.daily
summary Email.
Looking further, I found this odd avc:
Jan 21 21:29:51 topaz kernel: audit(1169414991.423:988): avc: denied
{ entrypoint } for pid=4891 comm="crond" name="sendmail.sendmail"
dev=hda6 ino=1313020
scontext=system_u:system_r:system_crond_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sendmail_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
i.e. the crond child process running in system_crond_t was apparently
unable to run sendmail.
Is this supposed to be cron emailing the output of the cron jobs or the
cron job itself emailing something?
