All,

This is not the very first time I experienced this and I wonder what is the common sense to solving this kind of issues.

I installed this policy update:

selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.12-45.fc11        Tue 16 Jun 2009 06:29:13 AM EDT

Only today I released it made crond in-operational completely for several days.

/var/log/cron:
Jun 20 06:08:02 hut crond[7705]: (*system*) ERROR (Could not set exec or keycreate context to system_u:system_r:system_cronjob_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh for user)
Jun 20 06:08:02 hut crond[7705]: (root) ERROR (failed to change SELinux context)

So every single crontab jobs were missed. Simple service crond restart fixes the problem. Do I need to reboot the system every time the new policy is installed, is this the "recommended" approach? Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
Vadym Chepkov
