Hii guys.....

'm configuring squid proxy for dhcp server. I have given the cache dir as
/data1/squid. I have changed the ownership and group to squid also i have given the file permissions too. My doubt is should i also change SElinux context of the cache dir too. And if yes to what context??. Below is the
ls listing for the dir

ls -ld /data1/squid
drwxr-xr-x 258 squid squid 4096 May 19 16:10 /data1/squid/

ls -ldZ /data1/squid
drwxr-xr-x squid squid rootbject_r:file_t /data1/squid/

Help me guys............!!!

Do you still have the default directory? Try ls -lZd /var/spool/squid

On RHEL5 it would be squid_cache_t, but not sure in RHEL4

Yes i have ,
ls -ldZ /var/spool/squid
drwxr-x--- squid squid system_ubject_r:squid_cache_t /var/spool/squid

ok i will change to squid_cache_t. So wat system_u??? Do i have to change dat also???

You should be able to change them both in one go with

chcon system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t /data1/squid/
