Attached. I did notice some cron + bash related messages, so hopefully the
answer is in there. They seemed to refer to our su wrapper, which I admit
could be the problem, if cron is calling su in some way. I believe it's
needed for some form of 2-factor authentication when using su. It was
previously labeled as unconfined; yesterday I changed the labeling to match
that of the su binary in the original RHEL6 coreutils package, but that didn't
seem to help. I also tried reinstalling coreutils and using the standard su
binary, but that didn't help either (I just get the same messages for "su"
instead of "su.real").
bash-4.1# ls -lZ /bin/su*
lrwxrwxrwx. root root unconfined_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /bin/su ->
/bin/su.wrapper
-r-xr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:su_exec_t:s0 /bin/su.real
-r-sr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:su_exec_t:s0 /bin/su.wrapper
The attached file shows the commands run both with and without dontaudit
disabled:
10:12:30 runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t system_cronjob_t
/etc/cron.daily/puppet-state
10:14:25 semodule -B
10:15:06 runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t system_cronjob_t
/etc/cron.daily/puppet-state

There are a few ways that you could speed up your troubleshooting:
1. Schedule your job with a file in /etc/cron.d to run the script in
/etc/cron.daily on a much more frequent interval 2. Use runcon to run
your script with the same context that crond would have when executing.
For example:
runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t system_cronjob_t
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
After you run the scripts (or at the end of the scripts), can you run
this and provide the raw audit messages?

Background info: running RHEL6 with the latest updates, so
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-231.el6_5.3.noarch.
When moving from Permissive to Enforcing, two scripts in
/etc/cron.daily that use the bash "." operator to include a functions
file can no longer do so. The functions file sets $PATH and other
environment variables, so subsequent commands in the scripts fail.
Interestingly, when run out of root's crontab, the scripts work
just fine. The context when doing that (gathered by placing id -Z in
the script) is:
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Not sure why; the script itself isn't unlabeled:
bash-4.1# ls -lZ /usr/local/sbin/puppet-state
-rwx------. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/usr/local/sbin/puppet-state
When run from /etc/cron.daily (or cron.hourly, where I placed a
copy for faster testing), the context is:
system_u:system_r:system_cronjob_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
bash-4.1# ls -lZ /etc/cron.hourly/puppet-state
-rwx------. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/etc/cron.hourly/puppet-state
The exact command in question it's failing to run is:
. /opt/puppet/scripts/functions
Which is labeled thusly:
bash-4.1# ls -lZ /opt/puppet/scripts/functions
-r-x------. root root unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0
/opt/puppet/scripts/functions
In either Enforcing or Permissive, I wasn't seeing anything that
looked relevant, so I ran semodule -DB. This is the only thing cron-
related, but (and I'm not very experienced with SELinux, so maybe I'm
missing something) that doesn't seem like it:
bash-4.1# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log-20140814 | grep cron |
audit2allow -w

tcontext=system_u:system_r:prelink_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process
Was caused by:
Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.
You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable
module to allow this access.

I suppose we could run them out of root's crontab, but they're
easier to manage in cron.daily, and I'd like to solve the problem. Any
assistance is greatly appreciated. A search of the list archives
didn't turn up this issue; sorry if I've missed it.
