fedora linux

I‘ve created a file as follows:

ls -l -Z /etc/cron.d/vnstat
-rw-r–r–. root root system_u:object_r:system_cron_spool_t:s0 /etc/cron.d/vnstat

I’ve created a new file /etc/cron.d/vnstat.custom.interface:

ls -l -Z /etc/cron.d/vnstat.custom.interface
-rw-r–r–. root root unconfined_u:object_r:system_cron_spool_t:s0 /etc/cron.d/vnstat.custom.interface

The /etc/cron.d/vnstat is part of default vnstat package. I’ve installed my own version of the same. But, due to SELinux security cron job is not running. How do I change file SELinux security contex under RHEL / CentOS 6 Linux server to system_u:object_r:system_cron_spool_t:s0 from unconfined_u:object_r:system_cron_spool_t:s0 for /etc/cron.d/vnstat.custom.interface file?

I’ve edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config to change the port number:

Port 1255

However, I’m getting an error as follows:

sshd[26792]: error: Bind to port 1255 on 192.168.1.100 failed: Permission denied

How do I change default OpenSSH port number from 22 to 1255 under RedHat Enterprise Linux server version 6 and SELinux?

I‘m trying to use semanage command to configure certain elements of SELinux policy without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy sources under RHEL 6 server. But, I’m not able to find out this command and/or package name. How do I install semanage command under RedHat Enterprise Linux?
