thanks all

Yes against tub, no, no, a thousand times no, against base of toilet.
You never want toilet sitting in a sealed pocket. If and when the wax
ring leaks, or bathroom floor floods for other reasons, the water will
leak down into floor and rot it. (No caulk job stays perfect forever.)
Pulling and resetting a toilet is easy. And if you caulk around base of
toilet, don't go all the way around- leave a couple inches in back open,
so water has a way to get out where you will notice it.

i hate doing toilets...pain the ass, so to speak
