Description of problem:
A shadow-utils useradd and/or groupadd attempt fails within RPM scriptlets (when rpm -i run as root.)

Will selinux-policy-targeted be adjusted to allow action? And will system-config-securitylevel have a "Modify SELinux Policy" option for RPM to allow/disallow action?

EX:
%pre
if test $1 -eq 1; then
    /usr/sbin/useradd joe
fi



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.2-19 , system-config-securitylevel-1.6.9-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Assume daemon-1.1.i386.rpm is the package containing the %pre scriptlet.
Attmpt to install a daemon package adding/removing its runtime user/group automatically.

1. rpm -i daemon-1.1.i386.rpm


Actual Results:  Install failed.

Expected Results:  The daemon user/group should have been added, and install successful.
