The problem with the above sequence is it will directly allow those
permissions to the original domain of the script; hence, all CGI scripts
would end up having those permissions.  Better to define a separate
httpd_passwd_t domain modeled after the passwd_t domain in the strict
policy and set up a domain transition into this domain only for the
script in question.
