I got a denial when actually starting squid for the first time (I assume this happens as it attempts to create its pid in /var/run):
What's happening here is a denial for *reading* /var/run/squid.pid, which is of type var_run_t. Now in Fedora 11 this file should be labelled squid_var_run_t, and that's what it is labelled on two Fedora 11 boxes freshly installed here. It seems there's a labelling problem on your system. Can you post the output of "ls -lZa /var/run"? Is your system a fresh install or an upgrade?
Paul.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out what I was doing wrong after another re-install.
I was previously starting squid directly from /usr/sbin/squid instead of using 'service squid start'. Starting it directly from /usr/sbin/squid apparently(?) doesn't initialise squid.pid as squid_var_run_t, rather it just starts as var_run_t, which is why I got a denial.
Starting squid via 'service squid start' as I should have been doing from the start is working fine now. Thanks for your help Paul.
