Todays policycoreutils has a new cron job, fixfiles.cron, that will run 
in /etc/cron.daily.   This script will run a check on the file system on 
a daily basis looking for file contexts in the wrong state.  It will 
them mail a list of files with the incorrect context to the root account. 

The following environment variables are set and can be overridden in the 
/etc/selinux/config directory.

CRONTYPE="check"  # You could change this to "restore" to have the 
script automatically clean up
INVALIDFILE=/var/tmp/badcontext # Name of the file to store the 
badcontext file list
CRONMAILTO="root"  # Account to send mail to

Suggestions on improvements?  Comments?
