Yeah, sometime after having been written in the second century it came to be widely believed that it originated from the sixth century. As post exilic apocalyptic literature it's narrative setting begins as exile does. Nevertheless, Daniel isn't a prophet in judaism....and it makes no difference to judaism whether it's given the sixth or second century dating, just a it makes no difference to judaism whether there was ever any single daniel. The narrative, like the one in the fall, is timeless. So long as people are displaced or captured or oppressed, it's gonna to speak to someone.
One of the most interesting (and maybe even tragic) things about daniel -imo- is that the author doesn't seem to be aware of the success of the maccabean revolt. You get the impression he'd have loved to have seen it.
