Description of problem: SELinux denied access requested by crond. It is not expected that this access is required by crond and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.

It is not expected that this access is required by crond and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for www, restorecon -v www If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
