It would be nice if the interface would be smart enough and allow output from the cron job to be sent, but no one is perfect :)

That would be unfortunate. Mine approach is not

For now, instead of creating a new policy I just
added
'runcon -t unconfind_t ' in the cron, and it seemed to

Looking here: http://oss.tresys.com/projects/refpolicy/browser/trunk/policy/modules/servic... line 235 to line 269.
That seems like a interface one might use in your situation:
cron_system_entry(winbind_t, winbind_exec_t)
I admit that using cron with SELinux is not very easy currently

Sincerely yours, Vadym Chepkov
if you want the system to run jobs you will
need
to write
some policy or extend the system_cronjob_t domain i think
Were those the only avc denial you got? I
would
expect more
denials.

But personally would deal with
this in
a
different way. I
would write policy for the script that
restarts
winbind and
then i
would create a domain transition for the domain
in
which the
script runs
to winbind_t.
Mainly because i wouldnt want to
extend/modify
system_cronjob_t
So: system_cronjob_t ->
myscript_exec_t ->
myscript_t
-> winbind_exec_t -> winbind_t
