Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: Problems adding to targeted policy for a new cache directory for Squid: msg#00105

Subject: Re: Problems adding to targeted policy for a new cache directory for Squid
Joe Cooper wrote:

If I run restorecon again (after creating the directories), I get a segfault and it stops before reaching the file(s) in the top level of the directory (there are subdirectories which all get relabeled). i.e.:

[root@localhost /]# restorecon -Rv /cache0
...
restorecon reset context /cache0/0F/FF:->system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t
Segmentation fault

Just to add to this, I found an update in the testing directory for policycoreutils that fixes this segfault, so this aspect of the problem goes away. However, I'm still losing the label on swap.state, and I've also noticed that I'm actually getting slightly different labels than /var/spool/squid:

[root@localhost /]# ls -lZ /var/spool/squid
drwxr-xr-x  squid    squid    root:object_r:squid_cache_t      00
[root@localhost /]# ls -lZ /cache0
drwxr-xr-x  squid    squid    system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t  00

So I've got root:object_r:squid_cache_t for /var/spool/squid (the one that works) and system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t for the one that doesn't, though the top level directory of /var/squid/squid is the same:

[root@localhost /]# ls -ldZ /var/spool/squid
drwxr-x--- squid squid system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t /var/spool/squid
[root@localhost /]# ls -ldZ /cache0
drwxr-xr-x  squid    squid    system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t  /cache0

I have no clue where that root/system_u difference is coming from--I never have been able to figure out how this labeling happens.

Thanks for any clarification anyone might have for me. My first foray into SELinux has been a harrowing experience...a week in and I still have only foggy notions of what's happening. ;-)
