Hi.

I'm trying to setup squid with SELinux, the problem i encounter is taht 
i want to add another directory for cache, in this system we have a home 
partition with huge space, i create a squid dir and add the path with 
semanage:

semanage fcontext -a -t squid_cache_t '/home/squid(/.*)?'

i check the files and are in the good context:

drwxr-xr-x  squid squid user_u:object_r:squid_cache_t    .
drwxr-xr-x  squid squid system_u:object_r:home_root_t  ..
drwxr-x---  squid squid user_u:object_r:squid_cache_t    00
drwxr-x---  squid squid user_u:object_r:squid_cache_t    01
...

But when i want start it i get this:

type=AVC msg=audit(1296442326.932:739661): avc:  denied  { search } for  
pid=30924 comm="squid" name="/" dev=sda3 ino=2 
scontext=user_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=dir

I know that the solution is to mount the huge partition on 
/var/spool/squid, i'm a newbie to SELinux, and want to know if it's 
posible to archive this.

Regards.
