logrotate problem

Hi all,

I'm having problems running logrotate from cron. The emails say:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: cannot open current directory: Permission denied

logrotate tries to open ".", which works out to "/root". Sure enough, 
selinux is blocking access to admin_home_t:

type=AVC msg=audit(1226489667.211:371): avc:  denied  { read } for 
pid=2291 comm="logrotate" name="root" dev=dm-0 ino=2162689 
scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1226489667.211:371): arch=40000003 syscall=5 
success=no exit=-13 a0=80525d3 a1=8000 a2=0 a3=8000 items=0 ppid=2289 
pid=2291 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 
tty=(none) ses=39 comm="logrotate" exe="/usr/sbin/logrotate" 
subj=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)



Is this a policy bug?

An /.autorelabel didn't fix it.

I'm using F10 rawhide.
