Lokkit doesn’t have anything to do with it. You need to make sure SELinux is enabled. From the command line (as the root user), run:

#> getenforce

If it returns a 0, the SELinux is not on. In that case, run:

#> setenforce 1

Just to be sure, you are running Red Hat 5 or later, correct?

sourabh, make sure you are running SELinux. If it is not running, the ‘chcon’ command will fail.
