Is there really a good reason for hostname_exec_t?

ls_exec_t is for ftpd.  But as ftp servers seem to either be moving in
the direction of minimal functionality and ls being built in or of
maximum functionality which includes automatically running tar and gzip
it seems that this isn't providing much benefit.

Yes, it means that we can reduce the access granted to initrc_t.  But if
you have unlimitedRC then it provides no benefit.
