Description of problem: Bug 108414 took care of crond, but crontab is not yet a PIE. Even though its not long-running, it is SUID and user controlled, so presumably it should be rebuilt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vixie-cron-4.1-49.EL4 How reproducible: $ eu-readelf -h /usr/bin/crontab | grep Type
Easy fix: adding -fpie option for crontab
