Problems with SELinux and cronjobs

Hello List,
I'm trying to get my cronjobs to work but after reading all kinds of
info on SELinux, I'm not even one step closer to solving the problem. I
have the following in my cronlog (yes, SELinux is set in permissive
mode, for now..):
May 28 09:15:01 mail crond[21390]: CRON (*system*) ERROR:Could not set
exec context to user_u:system_r:unconfined_t for user, but SELinux in
permissive mode, continuing
May 28 09:15:01 mail crond[21391]: (root) CMD (/somescript.sh)
May 28 09:16:01 mail crond[21395]: CRON (root) ERROR:Could not set exec
context to root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh for user,
but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing
May 28 09:16:01 mail crond[21396]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/php
/somephpfile.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Since the cronjobs run every 15 minutes, I get tons of these messages.
The first errormessage is from my systemwide cron, and the other is from
a cronjob that is set with "crontab -e".
[root at mail ~]# ls -laZ /somescript.sh
-rwxr-xr-x root root root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /somescript.sh
[root at mail ~]# ls -laZ /somephpfile.php
-rwxr-xr-x someuser somegroup root:object_r:user_home_t:s0
/somephpfile.php
I have absolutely no idea what to do to solve this. I have no idea what
a "exec context" is for that matter, nor can I find any understandable
information on that subject.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Regards, Gijs
