Hi David!

Just adding a bit to Warren's comment - what I see (hal working) on my
system  in /var/cache/hald:
-----------------------------------------------------
[root at localhost hald]# pwd
/var/cache/hald
[root at 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 at 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 at localhost hald]#
----------------------------------------
The second "ls" run is to show SELinux context.

Have Fun!
