Unconfined processes tend to stay unconfined.  That is what uses expect,

with mislabeled files because of this.

So


unconfined_t -> squid_exec_t -> unconfined_t

But unconfined processes starting init scripts have a transition

unconfined_t -> initrc_exec_t -> initrc_t -> squid_exec_t -> squid_t

So any time you are using a confined process you should use the init
script to start them, otherwise you could get mislabeled files.


I also just wrote a blog on this.
