Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker

Comment 8 George C. Wilson 2007-01-03 17:23:39 UTC
This bug corresponds to IBM LTC bug 30464. It appears that the LTC comments have
not been mirrored.

Comment 9 Daniel Walsh 2007-01-05 21:09:05 UTC
I don't see this being fixed before GA.  To many other critical items before
them.  You should use chcon for this.  chcat was more of a tool for MCS.

Comment 10 Irina Boverman 2007-01-05 21:36:28 UTC
IBM, please confirm that this defect is not a blocker for LSPP certification.
