From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: In SE Linux the program that is executed determines the domain that the program is run in. Running "/usr/bin/python -S /var/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip" from /etc/cron.d/mailman causes the cron job to run in domain sysadm_crond_t, while running it as "/var/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip" (with the first line of the script being "#!/usr/bin/python -S") causes it to run in domain mailman_queue_t which is the desired result (*). This change will not have any affect for people who don't use SE Linux and will do a lot of good for SE Linux users. (*) Please note that there are other problems with SE Linux and mailman, this change is not all that's required to make it work - but it is the only change that's required in the mailman package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: examine /etc/cron.d/mailman Additional info:
Thank you for your help and support of mailman in Red Hat. I have modified the rpm as per your suggestions and the results appear in mailman-2.1.5-12 which is currently building for rawhide and inclusion in FC3 and RHEL4.
