Well your solution works but it allows squid to escalate to generic var
objects. This means that squid can write to all objects with type var_t.
This may not be what you want. RedHat certainly decided not to give
squid this access.

The following may be a better solution:

mkdir ~/mysquid; cd ~/mysquid;
echo "policy_module(mysquid, 0.0.1)" > mysquid.te;
echo "require { type squid_t; }" >> mysquid.te;
echo "type squid_var_t;" >> mysquid.te;
echo "files_type(squid_var_t)" >> mysquid.te;
echo "manage_files_pattern(squid_t, squid_var_t, squid_var_t)" >>
mysquid.te;
echo "files_var_lib_filetrans(squid_t, squid_var_t, file)" >>
mysquid.te;

echo "/var/squidGuard(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:squid_var_t,
s0)" > mysquid.te;

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
sudo semodule -i mysquid.pp

This solution will not allow squid_t to write to objects with var_t, but
instead allow squid_t to manage its objects in /var/squidGuard with a
type that it owns.
