Originally the permissions from what I'd created [root@rhonda /]# ls -alZ /tmp/spool drwxr-x--- squid squid root:object_r:tmp_t squid Permissions of the original squid spool folder [root@rhonda /]# ls -alZ /var/spool drwxr-x--- squid squid system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t squid Changing the policies [root@rhonda spool]# chcon -R -t squid_cache_t squid/ [root@rhonda spool]# ls -alZ /tmp/spool drwxr-x--- squid squid root:object_r:squid_cache_t squid And again, I also tried the -R option. [root@rhonda /]# restorecon -v /tmp/spool After trying to start again the squid cache log has: 2005/04/24 01:51:03| /tmp/spool/squid: (13) Permission denied FATAL: Failed to verify one of the swap directories, Check cache.log for details. Run 'squid -z' to create swap directories if needed, or if running Squid for the first time. Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally. Any other suggestions? I have it working using the originally created directory which should do me anyway but it would be nice to know how abd where I am doing things wrong. Next step will be trying to decifer the SELinux information contained in the other links. Thanks Dave
