Just adding a bit to Warren's comment - what I see (hal working) on my system in /var/cache/hald: ----------------------------------------------------- [root@localhost hald]# pwd /var/cache/hald [root@localhost hald]# ls -a -l total 456 drwx------ 2 haldaemon haldaemon 4096 2007-11-18 09:08 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2007-11-03 20:42 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 439012 2007-11-18 09:08 fdi-cache [root@localhost hald]# ls -a -Z drwx------ haldaemon haldaemon system_u:object_r:hald_cache_t . drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:var_t .. -rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:hald_cache_t fdi-cache [root@localhost hald]# ---------------------------------------- The second "ls" run is to show SELinux context. Have Fun! Tod
