Comment 3 Andrey Rudakov 2010-06-22 13:17:51 UTC 
Sorry.

Version 1.0.
Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2010-10-27 08:32:15 UTC 
Mass-aligning under space12, so that we don't lose track of this bugzilla. This however does not mean that we plan (will be able to) address this bug in Spacewalk 1.2.
Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2010-11-19 16:02:40 UTC 
Mass-moving to space13.
Comment 6 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-11 07:31:10 UTC 
We did not have time for this one during Spacewalk 1.4 time frame. Mass moving to Spacewalk 1.5.
Comment 7 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-11 07:36:19 UTC 
We did not have time for this one during Spacewalk 1.4 time frame. Mass moving to Spacewalk 1.5.
Comment 8 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-07-20 11:48:42 UTC 
Aligning under space16.
Comment 9 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-08-19 11:54:20 UTC 
I have now verified that the problem is not present in Spacewalk 1.5 -- I was able to change the sharing type to protected just fine.

Closing with CURRENTRELEASE, please reopen if the bug persists on your Spacewalk 1.5+.
