The issue: I have two shell files run by cron that rsync our file
server directories to two backup servers, one on-site (Bison) and one
off-site. The on-site cron has worked fine for years. I just setup the
off-site cron and it is blocked by SELinux. Looking at the context of
the files, the one that works is listed as system_u, while the one that
fails is listed as unconfined_u. So my first question is, what is the
proper syntax for changing the context of the second file so that it
matches the first one.

I don't vaguely represent myself as an selinux expert, just someone who's
been fighting, on and off for years, to shut up the AVCs (we're mostly in
permissive mode).
That said, IIRC, the _u is pretty irrelevant; it's the _t that matters,
and whether the port is labelled correctly.... I assume the firewall's
open.
